AIR is a RenderMan compliant renderer produced by Sitex Graphics

In order to Get the Air shaders to be previewable in houdini SHOPS

These are the steps -

1. Define a HOUDINI_VIEW_RMAN environment variable with the value air (air.exe on Windows).

HOUDINI_VIEW_RMAN=air

2. Run the proto_install utility included with Houdini and install the renderman display driver. Be sure to note and remember the installation location you select.

3. Copy the display driver file from the installation location to the displays directory of your AIR installation:

$AIRHOME/displays

On Windows, rename the display driver from d_houdini.dll to d_houdini.so
