A quick guide to linux commands exist on the page below

We will also look briefly at command line on Windows (in DOS or Supershell)

You can command line in Houdini in mantra on either system, however our renderfarm is linux based. We will revisit this concept in V350/V721 and perhaps later in the quarter.

HOMEWORK

For those of your with Houdini experience - I created the data files in Houdini for this exercise using a python script inside Houdini. As a challenge, create a similar script. As a bonus challenge, rather than using a trace node, create a method to use a 3D object outline.

Since this brought up some interesting nodes in Houdini I have included a page on creating the files here.
