Hello people,

I tried isntalling renderman 23.0 and using it in houdini 17.5 but I seem to get something wrong;
I can't get the renderman menu to show up in the tool bar and the preset browser is absent as well.

My env file looks like this:

RMANTREE=“C:\Program Files\Pixar\RenderManProServer-23.0”
RFHTREE=“C:\Program Files\Pixar\RenderManForHoudini-23.0”
HOUDINI_PATH=$RFHTREE\17.5.327;&

I can actually do renders by creating the nodes manually but I can't seem to get the menu or shelf with the ipr icon.

I would appreciate some help on this

Is it possible you are overwriting the HOUDINI_PATH with some other entry in your env file ?
If so, you need to join the previous path like this:

HOUDINI_PATH=$RFHTREE\17.5.327;&

HOUDINI_PATH=“${HOUDINI_PATH};/some/other/houdini_path/”
