Houdini Indie and Apprentice » Error installing license (Apprentice)

I have recently started using Houdini again (such an awesome program!) and have been using for a few weeks.
I tried to start it again today and it wanted to re-install the license key but I am getting an error and unable to open the program.
“Error parsing JSON response from the web server. Invalid JSON:”
Along with some HTML code.
How can I solve this issue?
Cheers
David

Is there a way to type Chinese with the font node?
Something like “我非常好” doesn't display at all.
Cheers.

I managed to download it successfully with a download manager. Next problem will probably be getting rid of the 15 viruses that came with the download manager!

I actually got up to 200 MB on one of my latest attempts. I did this by pausing the download at around the 25MB mark, waiting for a minute and restarting.
I'm guessing it stalled again and if I had been quick enough I might have been able to pause the download and restart.
Very strange indeed.

Hello
I've tried 3 times to download the apprentice version and the download stops at around 30 - 40 MB downloaded. I'm using windows8.
Not sure what the issue is but probably something on my end.

Houdini Indie and Apprentice » Image planes and Viewport wireframes?

Ok problem solved!
Turns out the shader wasn't the problem.
In the display options to the right in the viewport I had the high quality lighting button selected, simply changing this to “normal lighting” or “headlight” solves the problem.
I get a fading opacity.
I still have the wireframe visible, and
I still have the image planes in the background visible.

Yeah transparency as enabled (I upped it to High quality with no effect.) I must be doing something wrong with the shader.
Adjusting the OGL Alpha slider to anything less than 1 makes is completely transparent and doesn't fade off like I would expect it. Also makes the wireframe completely invisible too.
I think I might be barking up the wrong tree

Hello
I am doing some traditional modelling in houdini and have set up front and side image planes with 2 Grids.
I have set up a material and have a custom parameter so I can control the OpenGL alpha with a slider. The slider only allows for either completly transparent or completly opaque.
Is there a way to fade out the alpha (of the geometry) in the viewport to see the image planes in the background? Also I would like to be able to still see the wireframe when becomming transparent.
Hopefully that doesn't sound too confusing.

I really have to stop jumping into the forums first!
Yeah I think it was a graphics driver issue because it cleared up after installing the new drivers.
Card was a GTX 460.

Yep, that was the problem! I disabled Avasts Sheilds for the duration of the download and had no problems downloading the latest version.
Cheers man!

Hi there
For some reason none of the buttons points/point numbers/face normals work. Do I need to change any other options to show points/point numbers etc?

Ok sweet, I got it downloaded. I went back 3 daily builds.
I watched to download very closely and as soon as it started to stall I paused it, waited a bit then unpaused it.
It stalled about 10 times all up and I expected the file to be corrupt when I installed but it installed fine!
So if anyone has that problem, just pause and unpause. Might work for you.
Cheers

Heh, I tried that and they fail at 2 MB!
I've sent them a support email to see if they know anything about it
Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi guys
I'm trying to download Houdini Apprentice but the download quits at 19.8 Megs. I've tried with Chrome and IE but they both stop at the same amount
I'm trying to download the 32bit Win XP version.
Are there any known problems with the download or is there another location I can download from?
Cheers
