Error Black Boxing HDAs with Material VOPs or Material X April 26, 2024, 9:52 a.m.

Hi everyone,

I am getting an error whenever I try to blackbox HDAs.

--------------------------

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 17, in <module>
File "C:\PROGRA~1/SIDEEF~1/Houdini 20.0.625/houdini/python3.10libs\digitalassetsupport.py", line 39, in create_instance return _create_vop_instance(node_type)
File "C:\PROGRA~1/SIDEEF~1/Houdini 20.0.625/houdini/python3.10libs\digitalassetsupport.py", line 105, in _create_vop_instance
assert not "Could not determine the VOP context for this VOP asset"
AssertionError

--------------------------

This happens for some HDAs and some blackbox correctly. I am not sure if it is because these HDAs are Material X nodes & Material VOPs (guess I saw the same thing happen randomly with Vex VOPs in shaders as well) or is it because I had previously saved the HDAs as a different name and did a "Save As" to rename the HDAs and format the names correctly or is it some other issue?

Any information or help would be really helpful!

Created a procedural rig using the scatter and align so the groom can adjust quickly on the fly. A bit rough but had fun building this setup for an Eye.
