Color Nodes in a Subnet by Creator
Added 2018-08-09 05:10:24 +0000 UTCA quite useful and a hidden gem inside Houdini is its feature to record the name (and computer) of the creator of every single node ever created. It's not displayed anywhere by default so I wrote a Python script to color nodes by their creator and also add this name as a suffix to each node.
Very handy when debugging and/or inheriting someone else's scene/setup or HDA. Now you know who to blame :P
After installing the preset, just create a Null node and then load the preset, or run the Python script manually using shelf/hotkey/Python SOP/OBJ node.
It also shows a summary of all artists sorted by the number of nodes each person created. The above image shows the HeightField Erode SOP is created by 2 people at Side Effects Software.
Original idea by Imre Tuske.
