Contexts

From Odwiki

Houdini provides several contexts, some of which are independent, some are related. Data can be referenced across these contexts easily.

• Objects (Object scene) is the context where the scene is described
• SOPs (Surface OPerations) are used for modeling and geometry manipulation
• POPs (Particle OPerations) is where multiple particle systems can be designed
• CHOPs (Channel OPerations) for manipulation of raw data, such as motion and audio
• COPs (Composite OPerations) provides tools for manipulating and compositing images
• SHOPs (Shader OPerations) allows the user to instantiate shaders for the supported renderers
• VOPs (VEX OPerations) provides a node gui for programming other operations
• Outputs (Render outputs) allows the user to set up various renders
• DOPs (Dynamics OPerations) are not yet available, but are currently in development

To add new documentation, try starting by copying the contents of the SOPHelpTemplate as a formatting guideline.
