Download Houdini

  1. Sign up and download Houdini Launcher from https://www.sidefx.com/download/
  2. Open the launcher and install Houdini (as of writing, I installed Production Build 19.5.435 win64-vc142)
  3. Use the default option and proceed to install
  4. On the first launch, one will get a license error. Proceed with Install (or reinstall) my free Houdini Apprentice License
  5. Run Houdini to test it is successfully installed

Download SynopFrame

  1. Download the repository
  2. Proceed to Step 3 if you only want to try the icosahedron example. For the cube and the RNA tile data set: download the demo dataset from https://drive.google.com/file/d/16OjlFjXD_vdNULJiAklH0DFxA6f9Lf1f/view?usp=sharing (You may also download from 链接：https://pan.baidu.com/s/17PSqZ0EsSIAZdaiZXcYnxg?pwd=2023 提取码：2023, if you are in China)
    • unzip the zip file
    • move its contents to the corresponding folders in the downloaded repository
    • in the end, you should have the following folder structure
├─demo_cube
│  ├─demo_cube
│  ├─input
│  └─demo_cube.hipnc
└─demo_RNA_Tile
    ├─demo_RNA_Tile
    ├─input
    └─demo_RNA_Tile.hipnc
  1. Copy everything under SynopFrame\houdini19.5 to C:\Users\<Your_User_Name>\Documents\houdini19.5. When asked whether to replace houdini.env, choose Yes
  2. Double-click to open one of the following:
    1. SynopFrame\demo_icosahedron10Frames\icosahedron_cndo_10Frames.hipnc
    2. SynopFrame\demo_cube\demo_cube.hipnc
    3. SynopFrame\demo_RNA_Tile\demo_RNA_Tile.hipnc
  3. Use Cheat-Sheet-Win to navigate inside SynopFrame

Optional, for advanced users, if you want to compile the HDK project:

  1. Open SynopFrame\src\hdk\SynopFrame_Parser\src\CMakeLists.txt in a text editor and change Houdini 19.5.303 to your version. In my case, I should change it to Houdini 19.5.435. If you have changed the installation path of Houdini, you will need to change the whole path.
  2. Install CMake (https://cmake.org/download/), Make sure to Add CMake to the system PATH
  3. Double click SynopFrame\src\hdk\SynopFrame_Parser\Win-GenProjects.bat to build the custom HDK program.
  4. Compile it in Visual Studio. It will install to the designated folder automatically.
