Hi all,
Is there an option somewhere to stop engine from loading when you load max (other than removing it). I don't always want to use it and the popup is getting a bit annoying.
Thanks,
Pete
Full Version: Stop Engine from loading on startup
If you're using a recent build, there are options for configuring this in the Options tab.
You can configure both whether you want a session to automatically start, and whether you want the window to automatically open when 3ds Max starts.

Ahh thanks BrandonA, I'll have to grab the update.
Running latest build, and don't see options for this, just options for Root node and Startup and Asset directories. Wouldn't be so bad if you can set a position for the pane, but it always resets to be at the bottom of the Command Panel which is not useful. Am I missing something?
If you open the Houdini Engine menu and select Version Information, what build number is it showing?
Houdini version 17.0.352
Houdini Engine: 3.2 (API 28)
Houdini Engine: 3.2 (API 28)
Hi! The options were not available yet in that build. You will have to update to a more recent daily build.
Okay, thanks.
Hello,
I'm having this problem too using version Houdini 17.0.416 with Indie Engine license & 3DS Max 2017.
I can see the tickbox for Auto startup in the options tab. However, even when it's unticked it still loads up on startup.
It's a not a deal breaker just slightly annoying.

no it doesn't. The pane is there but it doesn't auto start the session.
If you don't want to see the pane then……..logically, untick the next checkbox.

Oops; you are definitely correct Vusta.
I was being daft and not reading everything properly.
Totally blanked over the “Open the plugin pane when 3ds Max starts” text.
Thanks for pointing out my simple error.

..damn same thing, the naming of it is actually not good, it should be “autostart houdini engine with 3dsmax” .. anything auto start, auto load is what my mind is looking for - developers, take a note pls
