Build

An HDA file is already provided but it is also possible to build it anew using the script ./bin/nvidiawarp.

Installation

1. Install Warp using the official instructions.
2. Make Warp's Python package available to Houdini—running import warp from within Houdini's shell should not error out.
3. Add the ./houdini folder to the HOUDINI_PATH environment variable.
