OTOY Forums

This is a nitpick. But the default names of nodes inside octane_vopnet's are weird. Houdini's usual convention is snake_case ( lowercase and underscores as separators ). So names like NT_MAT_GLOSSY look weird to me. And what does the NT stand for? Do we need to see it on every node? Just seems like unnecessary visual clutter.

I believe I've read on this forum that it comes from the Octane API and having them named like that makes dev work much easier.

Yes, these are the node names in the API. It is easier from the development point of view continue using them to avoid problems.

Thanks,
