_build_houdini_path(startup_paths)

Given some paths, construct an updated houdini path.

This method preserves the existing HOUDINI_PATH and prepends the supplied startup paths. It also appends the special & default path if it is not already included.

_get_env(startup_paths)

This method represents the common behavior for preparing an environment for houdini launch. It populates and returns a dictionary with all the necessary keys for starting the engine. The supplied startup paths will differ based on the startup mode (classic or plugin).

bootstrap(tank, context)

Interface for older versions of tk-multi-launchapp.

This is deprecated and now replaced with the startup.py file and SoftwareLauncher interface.

Prepares the environment for a tk-houdini bootstrap. This method is called directly from the tk-multi-launchapp.

bootstrap_classic()

This method initiates the classic toolkit bootstrap.

This is accomplished by extracting engine and context information from the environment and then calling sgtk.platform.start_engine().

bootstrap_exception(error_msg)

Shows an error message if there is a problem during bootstrap.

get_classic_startup_env()

Returns a dict of key/value pairs representing the environment variables needed to launch houdini and startup toolkit in classic mode.

get_plugin_startup_env(plugin_names)

Returns a dict of key/value pairs representing the environment variables needed to launch houdini with the supplied plugins.
