Houdini Project Manager

Houdini Project Manager

Houdini Project Manager is a native workflow tool designed to streamline project organization directly within SideFX Houdini.
It replaces standard file browsing with a modern dashboard that allows artists to navigate projects, manage scene versions, and maintain consistent folder structures without leaving the interface.

Key Features:

• Smart Dashboard – A clean, list-based view of all your projects with instant search and filtering.
• One-Click Versioning – Instantly save and increment file versions (v001 → v002) with a single button.
• Work Area Detection – Automatically recognizes and highlights active working directories containing .hip files.
• Custom Templates – Create and reuse folder structures for VFX, Games, or personal projects.
• Live Sync – The interface updates in real-time as files are created or moved.

Built to feel completely native to Houdini, it eliminates the need for external file explorers and helps you stay focused on your art.

It may have some bugs, so feel free to reach out!
