Hi,

Your timeshift node is still link to the current frame ($F), which is always set to 1 in Houdini Engine.
Simply cltr+click on the frame parameter to remove the frame ref and set that parameter to 22.

Also, with H17, timeshift nodes arent required anymore to get erosion working, you can use the erode node's “freeze at frame” parameter instead.

Here's what you should get when importing your HDA with the frame parameter properly set

thanks for the reply/help, i got rid of my timeshift node and used the “freeze at frame” parameter instead as you suggested.

I got this in unreal after import, i dont seem to have the RGB boxes like in your screen shot, is this correct?

Hi,
That's normal, they only appear in layer debug mode.
Seems to be good.
