Anyone able to make Quixel Bridge work with Houdini 19.5? I've downloaded their plug in, but it seems to only install / support Houdini 19?

Thanks
Luke

If you specify the error, chances of finding a solution tend to increase.

My apologies. It seems to work fine now! No idea what it was, but it exports fine.

Thank you for the help!

Looks like I spoke a bit too soon. So, with 19.5 everything seems to be loading fine from a geometry perspective, but materials do not appear to display on the objects.

Seems like the reason is that textures in the material have .rat extension, but are downloaded as .jpg. Changing the extension appears to be fixing the issue.

you should download megascans Houdini plugin (MSLiveLink) from Quixel Bridge web page, unzip it anywhere, and put a Megascans.json to the houdini Packages folder with that text

{ "path": "[path_to_megascans_folder]\MSLiveLink" }
