I just updated Houdini 15.5.480 to 15.5.565, because of problem with Windows 10 Redstone update.
After install 15.5.565 Houdini couldn't open OBJ files, but it could open BGEO files.
Is there someone to help me?

I was able to load OBJ files without issue. It might be something specific to the OBJ files you are loading… Id' first suggest that you try running gconvert on the command line to see if converting the OBJ to BGEO works:
Then load the resulting BGEO into Houdini. If that doesn't work, it might at least give you a more descriptive error message. What is the error message you are seeing right now? I assume you are just loading the OBJ file into a File SOP?

If none of that works, you can always submit a bug report to SideFX support, attaching one of the OBJ files that is giving you trouble.

It won't work either.
I think it has problem with python 2.7
When I use Redshift it shows error with python


And I did creat Sphere and ROP Output Driver to write OBJ file, and I used File node to read that file.
But this won't work either…

gconvert is a an .exe, not a python executable. From the Start Menu, search for the Houdini Command Line Tools. From there, use DOS commands to cd to where your .obj file is and run gconvert (which should be in the PATH).

Oh.. I got it!


I got this message

I found that I can load OBJ files through GPlay.

Can you also try removing your preferences folder.

Wow… I just deleted “houdini15.5” folder and then Houdini could load OBJ files!
Thx a lot!!
