Overview

Nick Taylor (Aeoll) shares Aelib on GitHub as a library of Digital Assets, tools and scripts for SideFX Houdini. The otls folder holds about 100 SOP-level HDAs grouped into creators, deformers, modifiers, curve tools, IO, solvers, utilities and extensions, and the examples folder has .hip files that demonstrate many of them.

It also ships a shelf of macros and Python scripts, VEX include files and a VEXpressions.txt file with wrangle presets, and it installs as a Houdini package through the included Aelib.json file. The repository is a free direct download from GitHub under the LGPL-3.0 licence.
