HoudiniGIS — HDA Quick Install

Easiest setup — copy this houdini20.5/ folder into your Houdini user prefs and start Houdini. On first launch, scripts/456.py auto-creates HoudiniGIS.hda and registers the node under Tab → HoudiniGIS.

Paths

  • Windows: C:\Users\<you>\Documents\houdini20.5\
  • macOS/Linux: ~/houdini20.5/

Dependencies

  • Required: pyshp
  • Optional (for reprojection): pyproj

Install:

  • macOS/Linux: 
    python3 -m pip install --target "$HOME/houdini20.5/python3.11libs" pyshp pyproj
  • Windows (PowerShell): 
    python -m pip install --target "$env:USERPROFILE\Documents\houdini20.5\python3.11libs" pyshp pyproj

Use

  • Dive into a Geometry node, press Tab, select HoudiniGIS → HGIS Shapefile Import.
  • Pick your .shp file. Optionally set Target CRS (EPSG) (needs a .prj next to the .shp).

Notes

  • For polygon holes, subtract group hgis_hole from hgis_exterior with a Boolean SOP.
