EVE is a modern editor for VEX in SideFX Houdini. Compared to the default editor it features e.g. improved autocomplete, rainbow brackets and other quality of life improvements.
Features
Improved Autocomplete
Autocomplete comes with argument types and allows selecting the function variant you actually need. Intrinsics and internal variables are also autocompleted (never again wonder whether its @numpt
or @numpts
).
Modern code editor experience
See errors right where they occur and hover over any function name to see its documentation.
Rainbow brackets
Directly see your bracket levels for fast & intuitive editing.
Editor Customization
Customize the editor font to your liking with different fonts.
Compatibility
EVE should run in any Houdini version that uses Python 3. It's been tested with Houdini 19.5, 20.0, 20.5 across Windows, OS X and Linux. EVE is also compatible with Qt 6 builds of Houdini.
More features coming soon
While already useful, EVE is still a work in progress. Extra features are constantly developed and feature requests are welcome!
