Houdini Timestamp Shelf Tool

Houdini shelf tools are helpful presets to do various tasks. Timestamp is the first Fendra Fx shelf tool release. This shelf tool will insert a date and time string into a file path output parameter. The gif above shows it in action.

Definitely a handy tool if you are iterating your render outputs or sim caches.
