houdini-pipeline

loonghao/dcc-mcp-houdini

Pipeline skill — generic, adapter-owned project and shot/package automation: set/query the project root, tag and read portable asset metadata, validate a scene for missing files / bad output dirs / dirty state / cook errors, collect file dependencies into a manifest (no copying), and export a shot/package manifest (frame range, cameras, output nodes, caches, written files). No dependency on private production services.

houdini-lookdev

loonghao/dcc-mcp-houdini

Authoring skill — lookdev and shader-network operations: inspect materials, libraries, shader nodes and assignments; get/set shader parameters with type-aware validation; inspect and rewire shader connections; reset assignments; and manage adapter-owned material presets. Pair with houdini-materials for material creation/assignment.
