How it works with Houdini

The Kiosk Houdini plugin connects your asset library to Houdini's powerful node-based environment. Browse your content from a Python panel, load assets as file references in SOPs, apply textures in your material networks, or import VDB volumes — all without leaving Houdini. Custom HScript and Python commands let you define exactly how each asset type is handled.

Integration Features

Python Panel

Kiosk runs as a Python panel inside Houdini. Dock it alongside your network editor for instant library access.
