These are categorised into the following sections:\r\n\r\n- Creators: Geometry creation SOPs, usually not requiring input geometry\r\n- Deformer: Modify geometry positions\r\n- Modify: Involve creating or destroying points/primitives and require input geometry\r\n- Curves: A variety of tools acting on polyline curves\r\n- IO: Operations for reading or writing files to disk\r\n- Solvers: Simulations and feedback loops\r\n- Utility: General purpose tools and miscellaneous items\r\n- Extensions: Similar to existing Houdini or 3rd-Party SOPs but with extra functionality\r\n\r\nAs well as the HDA collection, Aelib includes:\r\n\r\n- A shelf containing macros and useful python scripts\r\n- Several VEX include files adding a range of new functions\r\n- A VEXpressions.txt file which adds presets to wrangles\r\n- Bundled python libraries required for a small number of SOP nodes\r\n\r\n## Usage\r\n\r\nThe /examples directory contains hip files demonstrating usage of many of the Aelib SOPs. Each node also includes a help card detailing its inputs, parameters and behaviour. Many parameters include a rollover tooltip.\r\n\r\n## Installation (Houdini Package)\r\n\r\n- Download and extract the repository and move it to any location\r\n- Create a folder called 'packages' in your Houdini home directory (e.g C:/Users/MY_USER/Documents/houdini18.0) if it does not exist already\r\n- Copy the Aelib.json file into the packages folder\r\n- Edit the json file to point to the Aelib parent directory (edit the \"AELIB\" line)\r\n- For more information on how package files work, see [HERE](https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/ref/plugins.html)\r\n\r\n## Other\r\n\r\nHDAs are periodically archived from the main library as they are superceded by new Aelib nodes or built-in Houdini nodes. These are kept in /otls/archive\r\n\r\nIf you would like to support the development of Aelib you can subscribe on [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/aeoll).\r\n\r\nFeedback and bug reports are always welcome!\r\n\r\nThis library is been heavily inspired by [qLib](https://github.com/qLab/qLib).\r\n\r\nqLib is an incredible resource and I would highly recommended installing and exploring it.\r\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FAeoll%2FAelib","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FAeoll%2FAelib","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FAeoll%2FAelib/lists"}
