This tool is part of the FREE and open-source toolset in Houdini called SideFXLabs.
The Sticker Picker is a very simple tool that uses the built-in background image placer, but wraps a nice visual interface around it. The default set of stickers feature some of the known icons found throughout Houdini, but also allow for custom stickers you want yourself.
To add custom stickers, set the environment variable $STICKER_PATH to a directory containing subfolders with stickers in them.
Example: $STICKER_PATH = "C:/MyPath/". Any folders found inside that directory specified will get picked up. For example a folder called "Unicorns". Images directly found in the directory specified will NOT get picked up.
Multiple directories can also be specified by separating paths by a semicolon. Example: STICKER_PATH = "$MYSTICKERS/;C:/Mypath2/".
