-
Add a Houdini Asset component to it.
-
Selec the Hodini Asset in the details panel. This cooks the HDA and displays its parameters interface and default output.
-
Modify the HDAs parameters and inputs. This recooks and updates the HDA outputs.
-
Place the Actor in the level. If you modify parameters or inputs on the Houdini Asset component in the Blueprint Actor, it automatically updates all placed instances of that Blueprint.
Note
Only Static meshes and Instancer outputs are supported, and only geometry and curve inputs are available when using HDAs in the BP Editor.
