V-Ray User Plugin Shader

This page contains information about the V-Ray User Plugin Shader.

Overview

---

The V-Ray User Plugin Shader VOP allows you to load a custom V-Ray node.

There are two environment variables that need to be set up for V-Ray for Houdini to load your custom plugin and generate the correct UI:

• VRAY_FOR_HOUDINI_PLUGINS – this environment variable must be pointed to the folder holding the compiled plugin.
• VFH_USER_HOME – this environment variable must be pointed to a directory that contains a "ui" folder. The "ui" folder must hold a ".ds" file that shares the same name as the custom plugin. Please refer to one of the *.ds files inside the V-Ray for Houdini installation folder → /ui/plugins for examples.
