Configure XGen

 
 
 

Using XGen variables, you can specify locations for user, local, and global file repositories for expression and archive files.

You can set the following Key/Value pairs:

Key Default Value Purpose
GlobalRepo /tmp/xgen/expressions

/tmp/xgen/archives

Global repository location
LocalRepo /tmp/xgen/expressions

/tmp/xgen/archives

Local repository location
UserRepo ${HOME}/xgen/expressions

${HOME}/xgen/archives

User repository location
NoteThe FlipParam value is used for the Renderman Renderer to flip the coordinate system so that it is left-handed.

Use a config.txt to set these environment variables.

Configuration file

XGen uses the XGEN_CONFIG_PATH environment variable for configuration. It must point to a directory containing a config.txt properties file. The following image is an example config.txt:
