@TobiasSteiner This is a known issue which should not prevent you from logging in and using hkey as desired.

Can you give a bit more information Matt on how to do that and get it working please

I have a clean windows 10 and first app I have installed in Houdini 18.5.63 and 17.5.425 (project-related) and I get the same error message

I have tried the Side effects as my license server option as well and no luck ?

what is hkey ? how do I use it to get houdini working ?

all I get now is both versions of houdini as both send me to the license app and it's all green ticks and happy there but houdini still doesn't start

Thanks Alexey it would be great to drop all those links at the bottom of the Gumroad page

Hey understand being busy


just found it hard to find anything as I google and google again and even tried bing ( odforce, cgpress, vimeo did not appear ?)
and hard to find a basic “how to” eg- model a chair video to get the basic intro and workflow concept.

I'll try to add something when I'm more comfortable and have the time

calling it Modeler is an issue in google,( “Houdini modeler 2020” really is a hard search )
Maybe V3 change the name to something that works better in google? IMO DMT was better.

JOY
& Thanks for the great Plugin Alexey

Discord ? really I searched DMT and found nothing ? a link or something more them DMT ??


can you guys make your job any harder ? NO tutorials, NO marketing, No documentation

Can't search for anything the because if you google “Houdini Modeler 2020” it gives you everything BUT anything related to this plugin

Your only surviving from this Houdin forum ? why make your job so Hard ?

so far I think the asset is AMAZING worth the money and glad to be modelling in Houdini and moving away from modo But what are you guys doing ?

a wordpress website for a year cost less than a single sale of the plugin? and youtube channels are free ?

Houdini Indie and Apprentice » Autorig What's the "Operator" option for ?

Using Autorig and clicking the “Operator” option and select my FBX already loaded into the scene the rig is created and the mesh does not deform.

if I select “file” with all the same options and load the same FBX I get a Rig that deforms but all the materials are stripped? ( has 5 materials ) materials are not even listed as groups after rigging.

I have the "capture|Deform by Default turn ON is all cases.

no,must be something my side then I did check animation export ( it's now 3 days hitting this issue pretty much-tried everything in everything way) but no animation appears in unity for that item only that scene was huge alot of simulation, tons of animation all was export using FBX no really issue.

except this last null and cube…

are there config files for FBX export in Houdini ?
or should i just a complete uninstall reinstall of Houdini ??

First houdini is Great

but Man I am having real problems with exporting using FBX it's been uneven since i moved to houdini for the last 4 months some may be user-related cool but

I'm using both the File-> export FBX and the FBX export node

so far all i can say is fbx is slow getting worst and more unreliable in my current scene. ?


I have deleted EVERYTHING from the scene the only thing left is a null ( that has animation) and a Cube parented to the null (just to have some geo)

still no luck with export ?

I need this animation in Unity to go with the simulation work I have already got out of Houdini, but it's now 3 days and this is the last item I needs out of Houdini, 2 day seeing the fbx export do nothing and export NO animation is really …. a pain.

Please check the Hiplc file, attached if you can give me a FBX with the animation that would be great too. if you can tell me why or where I got exporting out of Houdini wrong so i don't run into this again that would be even better…


model export with no animation is my issue.

can you inflate as a animation using the Pressure Constrain Stuffness Slider ?

also I tried using the Constrain Vellum Property as shown in the video below

is an expression the only way to animate a value ?
or am I missing something trying to keyframe the value slider ? is that logic not the Houdini way ?

HI got a scene with bone animations and curve deformer etc ( from game tools) about 1300 frame worth and can not get it to export?

Maybe it's related to the error I get with game tools in the file dependences? $job manager?

anywhere else I should check ? or tip on Alembic export ?

thanks in advance
