Hello!

As the title suggest, I am unable to import .otl files into my UE 4.10.4 project. I have tried placing the .otl file in my content folder for my project but the asset doesn't show up in the engine folder view.

I have the latest version of Houdini and have tried re-installing both the houdini apprentice and houdini engine for unreal.

Is this a known issue with a possible solution?

Thank you!

Hey there! I'm new to houdini as well, and it's true that it all gets very confusing at first but you have to give yourself some time. Houdini is notoriously hard to wrap your head around.

My best suggestion is that you should take notes. For example you should write down the definition for VOP, SOP, DOP, etc. What “$” variables are, etc. All of that is helping me a lot. You should also check out this guy for tutorials:

Hope this helps.

I stay out of Maya as much as possible, where are you seeing that the vertex count is lower than Houdini?

Ignore that, I did another test today and simply made a cube in both maya and houdini and they both came out with the same amount of vertices. So it was probably a dumb mistake on my part when I was trying with different meshes. This makes a lot more sense now :p
