Houdini Plugin

DoneYet

A render monitor that tells the artist what is happening now, without forcing them into a heavy dashboard.

Late-night renders create the same question every time: is the job still healthy, which frame is being processed, and do you need to intervene right now?

DoneYet keeps that answer visible. The tool is built for artists who want clarity without leaving Houdini, opening extra monitoring windows, or digging through logs just to confirm that the render is still moving.

What It Solves

Clear status checks while the work keeps running.

Instead of overbuilding the experience, DoneYet focuses on the exact information artists usually need during render supervision: progress, health, and confidence that the machine is still doing useful work.

01 Frame visibility

See where the current render stands so it is easier to estimate momentum and catch suspicious slowdowns.

02 Job awareness

Keep an eye on job state without interrupting the artist flow or switching into a separate monitoring mindset.

03 Machine activity

Quick signals make it easier to notice when the machine looks idle, stalled, or no longer behaving as expected.

04 Low friction

The UI stays intentionally simple so the tool feels like a practical extension of production, not another system to babysit.

Installation Guide

Install DoneYet, connect what you need, start monitoring.

Install the plugin in Houdini, open DoneYet, add optional integrations if needed, and start tracking renders right away.

Step 01 Install the plugin in Houdini

Copy the DoneYet package into your Houdini packages location, then restart Houdini.

Step 02 Open DoneYet inside Houdini

Launch Houdini and open the DoneYet panel to access monitoring and setup options.

Step 03 Start monitoring renders

Begin a render or cache job and DoneYet will track frame progress, status, and machine activity.

Step 04 Connect optional services

Add Discord or Telegram for alerts. Connect Firebase only if you need remote web monitoring.

FAQ'S

Quick setup help for Firebase, Discord, and Telegram.

Firebase is only needed if you want remote web monitoring. Create or use your Firebase project, copy the project config or database details into DoneYet, save the settings, and validate the connection. Once connected, the web view can display monitoring data beyond a single local workstation.

Create a webhook inside your Discord server or channel settings, copy the webhook URL, paste it into the DoneYet notification settings, save it, and send a test notification. DoneYet will then post render updates to that Discord channel.

Create or connect your Telegram bot setup, get the required bot token or chat connection details, paste them into DoneYet’s Telegram settings, save, and send a test message. Once confirmed, Telegram can deliver lightweight mobile alerts for important render events.

Low-Friction Setup

DoneYet is straightforward to deploy: start with the core Houdini workflow, confirm your monitoring locally, and only add Firebase, Discord, or Telegram when your production needs them. The tool is built for practical render supervision, not unnecessary setup overhead.
