ABSTRACT
Houdini Digital Assets (HDAs) are an extremely powerful way of extending
Houdini. With these, you can package up all kinds of custom tools and hand
them off to other users, or to yourself, for later use. You can hide the grimy
details, so that the user just deals with the problem as he would like to think
of it. You can embed any arbitrary data, including scripts, images or a list of all
your favorite pizza restaurants – they don’t care. This chapter deals with getting
more out of these amazing tools.
