Our company have 2 pool:
_Houdini Engine for Unreal 19.5
_Houdini FX 19.5
The problem is when the artist uses HE in UE, it automatically uses the Houdini FX pool. I cant find the setting for this in PluginSettings of UE.

Hello guys,
Recently I am working with nanite foliage in UE, but inputting the nanite assets to HE gonna slow and consumes a lot of RAM, so I just want to input it colliders instead of it full meshes.
Maybe I can modify the source code a bit, but I dont know where I should looking for.

AmbrosiussenHello @Ambrosiussen, is there any update for PDG pipeline, because using $ Environment makes the pipeline inconsistent. For example, I cant view the node if it using $ environment.
At request of a user, here is how to use the Maps Baker with PDG

I tried to submit job from HoudiniFX 19 and 18.5 to a farm 19.5, but it always returns xmlrpc invalid token error.
Submitting a job from HoudiniFX 19.5 to the farm 19.5 is fine.
Is it possible to do that or not, I tried to set hfs path to different distros, but it seems doesnt work too.

Hello guys,
I need to update houdini python package to a newer version, ie: rpyc
I've found this video, but it's for install, not update.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUdC8p17QEc [www.youtube.com]
My question is, if I follow that vid, do I need to delete the package in houdini folder, or just set PYTHONPATH in env, houdini will pick a newer version

chrispriscottMe too, SideFX pls update it
I'm also interested to here if there is any update on this (in particular for GLTF export). Seems the standard is to add AO into the red channel of the metalroughness map but doesn't like there is the option to do this with the principle shader and the current GLTF exporter.

Is there anyway I can set expression for 'Dictionary parameter'
I tried to set expression for it to read JSON from 'detail atrrib', but no success. While it work if I reference 'dictionary parm' from another node.

PDG/TOPs » Add more wedge count during pdg cook ?

tpetrickThank you for clarify.
That's currently not possible. Once the network begins to cook, external Python code can't make those kind of modification to the graph. It is possible to add work items to a node using the Python API (https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/tops/pdg/Processor.html#injectStaticItems), however that can only be done when the graph is not cooking. Any requests to insert work items into a node that is part of an active cook will be queued up and processed once the cook finishes.
So without pdg, is there other pipeline to do the concept like that (a button to add work item to queue during cook, use all computer resource at the same time).

Is there a trick to add more wedge count during pdg cook, something like queue.
Example: I have 5 input 'wedge count', when I press a button (that I create to execute python), it will increase the 'wedge count', rather than stop the pdg.

Iam using houdini 18.5.499. No matter which value I put in minimum percent available memory, 1 or 99, 0.1 or 0.9, the system still run out of memory and freeze my computer.
And if it isnt the correct way to prevent houdini using all the memory, is there any efficiency way to make houdini pdg using all the cpu but still limit the memory ?

Thanks you, it worked.
But it would be nice if new version of houdini engine have option for parameter 'button' to run mel script or python in maya, so we dont have manually import the cache again, or have to write separate script in maya.

Hello guys,
I create simple HDA in houdini, key frame some translate and rotate in geometry node. But when bring it to maya, after press 'bake' button, the baked asset has no key frame in it.
I tried to google, but there is no infomation about this.
