Houdini - custom startup scene

Unlike C4D, Houdini doesn't have built in tool to create custom startup scene. So, I desided to deal with that! I believe that there are more options how to make that a lot more flexible. But my is following: 1) I created .hip project with scene preset 2) Then added new shelf tool with simple python script inside

PATH = r"//.hip file path"
hou.hipFile.merge(PATH, node_pattern="*", overwrite_on_conflict=False, ignore_load_warnings=False)

And voilà – now I can import my custom scene inside current project
