Protect the master
Source EXRs are copied without display transforms, text or watermark changes. Review treatment is applied only to the review media branch.
Nodely Tool 05
EXR delivery and review packaging
Final EXRs in. Client ready delivery out.
Turn a finished EXR sequence into a complete client review package without leaving Houdini. DeliveryDesk preserves the source masters byte for byte while it builds the slate, burn ins, watermark, review frames, review movie and delivery records around them.

Why DeliveryDesk
Less setup.
More direction.
DeliveryDesk replaces the fragile last mile between a finished render and a client handoff. It resolves the sequence, color decision, metadata, visual treatment and destination before writing. The job is staged on the target volume and published only when the complete package is ready.

Inside the system
Built around
the real workflow.
Every layer is designed to shorten repeated setup while leaving the final Houdini result available for the artist.
Build the client view once
Create a consistent slate, frame labels, timecode, shot metadata, burn ins and optional text or icon watermark from one reviewed setup.
Decide color explicitly
Record the source colorspace, display, view and active OCIO configuration so the review conversion is deliberate and repeatable.
Know the job before it writes
Validate the sequence, preview representative frames and review the planned outputs and required disk space before staging begins.
Publish the complete package
Work on a staging area on the target volume, inspect frames, movie, hashes and records, then move the complete package into its final destination.
Resume without guessing
A cancelled job keeps its journal and staging state. Resume is allowed only when the source, settings, graph and plan still match.
The workflow
From first input
to native result.
Choose and validate
Select the EXR sequence, delivery root, metadata and review preset, then resolve gaps, color and output policy.
Preview the package
Inspect the slate and a real review frame before committing the full sequence.
Review the plan
See the destination, steps, estimates and warnings without creating delivery files.
Stage and publish
Build the package on the destination volume and publish only after every planned part is complete.
Native by design
The setup helps.
The result stays yours.
Nodely tools create results that remain part of the Houdini scene. Inspect them, adjust them and hand them forward without turning the product into the only place where the work can live.

Questions
Before the
first shot.
01Can I buy DeliveryDesk separately?
No. DeliveryDesk is available only as part of Freelancer Pack, together with Preflight and Turntable Station.
02Does DeliveryDesk alter the source EXRs?
No. The master sequence is copied byte for byte. Slate, display transform, burn ins and watermarks are created only for review media.
03Can it publish a partial package?
No. Outputs are staged first. The final package is published only after every planned part is complete.
04Can a cancelled delivery continue later?
Yes, when the source, plan, HDA identity and settings still match the staged job. Mismatched state is blocked rather than guessed.
04How does the annual license work?
The annual license renews automatically each year until canceled and includes product updates and supported Houdini builds while active.
