Todd Manus

Hey Lesouf,

My name is Todd Manus, I don't have a Mac, but I'll see if I can help. With Linux and Windows 11, you can simple copy of a JSON file over from where Renderman got installed, to a folder called packages that is usually in your "houdini21.0" home folder
See the packages installation section here: https://rmanwiki-27.pixar.com/space/RFH27/544640398/Installation+of+RenderMan+for+Houdini [rmanwiki-27.pixar.com]

If you have question, I can try and help. You can reach me on Pixar's Renderman Discord server.

BTW, I have never seen the Renderman plugin in the Labs/Packages section ever, so I don't think you have to worry to much about the fact that it doesn't show up there.

Well I'll be a son of a gun! Can confirms that works on CachyOS, too! For anyone wondering how to do it, on Cachy I simply added the line to the following file using sudo nano:

/etc/environment

Now, if anyone can figure out how to make Houdini play nice with Nvidia drivers after 580, that'd be the last missing link for me. I managed to track down that it's an XID error 69 that happens when the UI freezes, but I haven't been able to figure out what to do with that information LOL.

I had to go back to 580.126.20... the newest 595.58.03 is a no go :-(.. UI freezes up too much.

Yeah.. it is how I am working now... using Qt5. There is another issue that I think might be related to all this. Even with Qt5, if I middle mouse click and hold on a parameter (1.0) for example, sliding left and right, it will skip to a huge number.
