KTT for Houdini: Accessories is a free extension of KTT for Houdini which expands the scope of KTT's focus on terrain generation, and provides extra utilities to make certain tasks easier.
About KTT: Accessories
Throughout the development of KTT, I had many ideas for tools that didn't end up making it into the final product for one reason or another. Making a concise and self-contained set of tools requires culling some interesting ideas, as it wouldn't be proper to ship half-conceived workflows in a product that people pay for.
This is why I'm creating this pack of accessories. I'd like for some of those slightly more divergent tools to make it into the hands of people that could use them. I'm committed to providing the same quality and adhering to the same conventions as the main branch of KTT.
KTT: Accessories is currently in beta as I grow the collection of tools

Installation
Installation Prerequisites
Houdini 20.5 or newer. Ideally 20.5.641 or newer (any license, although apprentice will limit export resolution to 1024x1024)
Installing via Houdini Packages
Download the .zip file
Locate your $HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR folder. By default, in Windows, this is usually in your C:/Users/Username/Documents folder, and it's labeled 'houdiniXX.X' (where 'XX.X' is the version of Houdini you are running).
If you're having trouble locating this directory, try this:
Open Houdini
in the top left of the window, locate the 'Windows' menu, and open the 'Hscript Textport'
Type this command into the window that appears: echo $HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR
It should give you the location of the folder that you need
In the folder, find the folder named 'packages' (all lowercase), if you don't have one, create a folder with that name.
Unzip the contents of the KTT_Accessories zip file into the packages folder, it should look like this, you should see a JSON file, and a folder labeled "KTT_Accessories"And with that, you should be good to go!
