Managers

A Manager in Houdini is a node that contains the whole of a basic houdini network as there is:

• CHOP network (equivalent of /ch)
• COP2 network (eqv. /img)
• ROP network (eqv. /out)
• SHOP network (eqv. /shop)
• SOP network
• VOP network (eqv. /vex)
• POP network (eqv. /part)

With them, you can setup your own houdini structure exactly as you want it without being tied to the default network structure of a hip file. This also means you can make your CustomSubnetOperators truely self contained and have as many networks in them as you want. This is called NetworksWithinNetworks or NwN for short.

Definitions

Definitions are what VOP networks contain: nodes that have VOPS in them. They can define all vex contexts. Just like managers, you can put them almost anywhere in your hip structure.
