Hello everyone,
I am a student currently learning Houdini. I just bought the Education licence.
I need to load Houdini assets into Unreal 5.3.2. I understand Unreal can't read .hdanc files.
I have also installed the Houdini Engine for Unreal.

My question is: what is the proper workflow to move from Houdini Education to Unreal?

Thank you!

Me too! Or is Houdini Engine not compatible with UE5.1+?

I've seen where other people have been able to use the engine with Unreal 5, but I haven't seen much for the most current versions of Unreal.

Houdini Engine for Unreal works for all version of UE5. 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.

Houdini Engine is also able to read `.hda` files from Core and FX. As well as `.hdalc` files from Indie licenses, and `.hdanc` from Education licenses. It is not able to read assets from Apprentice version of Houdini however.
