| - | ====== Houdini ====== | ||
| - | Houdini is a closed source 3d animation application developed by SideFX. | ||
| - | |||
| - | It installs on Slackware the same way as on Red Hat. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Download the installer from the Houdini website. They offer a variety builds, including daily builds with the latest fixes. | ||
| - | |||
| - | For OS, choose **Linux**. For distribution, choose **Other**. The only builds available are 64bit, so you must be running Slackware64. | ||

| - | ====Licensing==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Foundry uses the `FountryLicenseUtility` (FLU) to register the application. Run FLU and point it to your license file: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | ./FoundryLicenseUtility -l $HOME/FoundryLicensing/foundry.lic | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | There are various places you can place the Foundry License file: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * $HOME/FoundryLicensing/ | ||
| - | * /usr/local/foundry/RLM/ | ||
| - | * $HOME/FoundryLicensing/ ....directory not found, moving on. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Alternately, you or your organisation may use a licensing server. This can be reached after launching MODO. | ||

| - | ====Applications Menu==== | ||
| - | Presumably because many studios have their artists launch applications from a shell, the Mari installer does not provide a launcher for the application menu. If you want one, create one in a text editor of your choice and save the file to `/usr/share/applications/mari.desktop`: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | [Desktop Entry] | ||
| - | Encoding=UTF-8 | ||

| - | Categories=Graphics;3DGraphics; | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | ====Alternatives==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Mari is closed source. Unless you pay for a full license, it is illegal to use it for commercial purposes. Open source alternatives include a mix of [[blender|Blender]] and painting-related plugins, [[krita|Krita]]. | ||
