I got both Arnold and Octane for houdini installed (yay me), and they both use the same method for “initialising” where I add a few lines to the houdini.env
like this for Arnold:
PATH = “$PATH;C
path/to/htoa/scripts/bin”
HOUDINI_PATH = “C
path/to/htoa;&”
And this for Octane:
PATH = “C
path/to/Octane_H14/bin;$PATH”
HOUDINI_PATH = “C
path/to/Octane_H14;&”
But If I have both in my .env I get conflict - missing icons and whatnot - since it seems the last one wins.
How can I have both running at the same time so I don't need to # my way out of it each time I start Houdini?

Got help from Otoy support. Thanks!
You can put more paths in the houdini.env file to support multiple render plugins, for example:
PATH = “C
path/to/other_render/bin;C
path/to/Octane_H14/bin;$PATH”
HOUDINI_PATH = “C
path/to/other_render;C
path/to/Octane_H14;&”
