I have been trying to use the houdini engine in maya, as soon as i try to activate the the houdini engine bundle in maya(2013,2014,2015) i get the spinning wheel of doom and maya eventually crashes.

Is there any known issues with the houdini engine and maya on mac? i am using houdini 13.0.509, i am on a macbook pro 2011 17inch 16gb ram.

Hopefully i can get this working soon.

cheers

Yeah, there's a known issue in the newer versions that doesn't seem to load on OS X 10.9. Could you try 13.0.498? It has some other issues (which the newer versions attempted to fix), but it should at least get you started.

It works with 13.0.498 and 13.0.550, but it doesn't with the production version…

Yeah, the problem was introduced in 13.0.504 on OS X 10.9 while fixing a crash on OS X in general. And I just fixed the problem yesterday (13.0.550) for OS X. So please use 13.0.550 and up for now.
