Installing 3DelightNSI consist of downloading the package (available here) and running the installer. Once this is done, re-starting Houdini will make 3Delight available as a renderer.
Once 3Delight for Houdini is loaded in Houdini, the 3Delight and the 3Delight Cloud ROP will become accessible and you will be able to render using 3Delight. The free 3DelightNSI does not require a licence file, but if you are running the paid version and you have no license file installed, you will have a watermark in the image when you render. Installing a license file is explained in Configuration.
Linux
On linux platforms, it is necessary to run the setup script to setup system wide environment variables. This can be done using the following command:
source $DELIGHT/.3delight_bash
This command can be placed into your ~/.bashrc file so that it is executed at each session.
If you are using a csh shell, use the .3delight_csh file instead.
Loading the Plug-in
If 3DelightNSI is properly installed, 3Delight for Houdini will be loading on Houdini startup
