OD Houdini Shelf Tools Documentation

(docs are a work in progress - green are docs completed, red is still missing docs)

Simply unzip the folder into a folder of your choice, typically I make a folder called: ODHoudiniShelfTools and copy it into the houdini documents folder, i.e. c:\users\<username>\documents\houdini 18.0\ODHoudiniShelfTools

Copy the ODHoudiniShelfTools.json into your houdini packages folder which should be in the root of your documents houdini18.0 folder. If you dont have a packages folder, simply create one. If you are choosing to put the tools into a different location, modify the paths in the json file.

Once that is done, start houdini and you should see an ODTools Menu Bar. In addition, you can add the ODTools shelf to the UI via the + Button on the top top right of the shelf toolbar.
