There is no specific console window on OS X or linux. If you want console output you'll need to start Houdini from a terminal. To do this on OS X you can use the Houdini Shell.terminal link in the application folder and type in ‘houdini’. As with linux, you can also navigate to the installation directory and source houdini_setup and then run ‘houdini’.

You could also simply start the “console” app that's in the Utilities folder. There you can filter your output for “houdini” or “mantra”.

For anyone that runs Houdini on Mac and gets similarly frustrated by lack of a console that can always stay on top for printf's and the like, there IS a solution.
Download iTerm2 [iterm2.com], then set up an Alias inside your /Users/username/.zshrc (aka ~/.zshrc) file like so:

alias houdini="/Applications/Houdini/Houdini20.0.506/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Resources/bin/houdini"

Or whatever version you're running at the time.

Then follow these instructions I found:
One such feature with iTerm2 is the ability to configure a Hotkey Window setting on various iTerm2 profiles. iTerm2 -> Preferences -> Profile -> Keys tab -> Configure Hotkey Window button. Then set a hotkey to launch your Profile and make sure 'Pin hotkey window (stays open on loss of keyboard focus) is checked as well as 'Floating window'.
When you hit the hotkey it will launch iTerm2 and it will stay on top.

You MUST use the hotkey you set in that last step to open the terminal since it will make sure to keep the window on top.
Then type "houdini" and you should be launching whatever version you run (I'm on Indie). It should stay on top and receive all the console data from Houdini.
