Hi,
I installed twice and double checked that check box next to the UE plugin, so it is definitely installed, unless I have to do something else which is not documented or stated clearly in any other way. I start a new project in UE 4.24, but there is no Houdini plugin, other than Houdini Niagara. What seems to be a problem here? How to force the plugin to load in UE 4.24? I could not find anything useful on any forum which addresses this problem. I use a Windows machine with the latest Houdini 18 build.
Cheers

Same situation here

AFAIK there's no precompiled houdini engine plugin for 4.24 yet.

Hi,

If you're on windows, support for UE4.24 was added in Houdini 18.0.316, so you can simply install the latest daily build and it will have it.

Depending on how you installed UE4, the installer maybe failed to detect your UE4 directory from the registry.
In that case, you can simply copy the “HoudiniEngine” folder in Houdini18.0.XXX/engine/unreal/4.24 to the Engine/Plugins/Runtime folder of Unreal 4.24.

Mac users will have to wait a little, as 4.24 required a XCode update, that involves some changes on our side.

The plugin can also be built from the sources that are available on Github: https://github.com/sideeffects/HoudiniEngineForUnreal [github.com]

Thank you for fast update, going to install now

Good day.
How does one exactly compile these plug in from the GitHub files for mac users?
