Does it work with H20.5?

Yes.

Hi, I am trying to batch convert mantra materials of kitbash models to materialx , I am using houdini 20.0 but the tool casts this error:
Error creating mtlx file: The attempted operation failed.

I wonder if this functionality works only for houdini 19?
or if I am doing something wrong
Thank you in advance!

Hi all,

I've just installed OD Houdini shelf tools for houdini 20.5.410 win11.

I put ODHoudiniShelfTools2021 in C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 20.5.410\Plugins\
I can add any python panels to desktop but 2 : "OD asset library" and "OD snapshotManager".


"OD asset library" gives me this error message :

There is an error in the OD Asset Library script.
Traceback (most recent call last):

"OD snapshotManager" gives me this message :

So it seems there is maybe some permission problem.

Any solution to make them work ?

Thanx.

that is not where you should install ODTools. you should NEVER put your 3rd party tools into the sidefx program files folder. Please read the installation instructions again. https://www.notion.so/odtools/Installation-Update-1c040264a79e46799e5617be99587ef0 [www.notion.so]

I read it before installing and saw :

1 Simply unzip the folder into a folder of your choice.
Typically I make a folder called: ODHoudiniShelfTools2021 and copy it into the houdini documents folder.
...
If you are choosing to put the tools into a different location, modify the paths in the .json file.

This is what I did (modify the path in the .json file). But I will change the location. Better than doing wrong thing with permissions.

Thanx.

Hey!

I can't register to the origamidigital.com, so I can't buy OD Tools either.

After filling out all the fields, all with an asterisk and checking the privacy policy, I press "Continue" and nothing happens except this pop up (bottom right):

In Translation: "Unable to enable site key for invisible captcha protection.
Privacy - Terms"

The same happen in "Contact Us"

I tried different browser, turn off all blockers.

Yeah, I’m having the same issue with the account creation / purchasing.

Same Problem here, each time I try to complete the form in the registration page, the page doesn't react or update...
I'm living in France, and have tried on 3 different devices with safari, chrome and microsoft edge.

looks like there's an issue with the email service on the host side... I'll submit a support ticket.. I'll update here when resolved, but if you need to get a hold of me before, just send me a message, or contact me on discord, which will be the fastest.

everything should be back up and running. was an issue with the captcha.. sorry for the inconvenience.

Now it's working. Thank You! I couldn't find your discord btw.

I am planning to buy ODTools. But have a question about licensing. I need this plug for 2 pc. Is there any multi use license option available for this?? Or I have to purchase two times?? About 200 dollars??

I'm running into issues with downloaded assets from Fab. As the documentation states, the Megascans feature in the Asset Library only works with assets downloaded from the Bridge - sadly now I cannot access most of my Megascans on the Bridge, so is there anything I could do or try?

I also would like to know if anyone else has gotten the FBX/OBJ + materials importing as expected. As of now, it's a bit of a wonky workflow. Thanks!

v4.88 is now compatible with Houdini 21.

- is there a materialX (openPBR) Support ?
