Can someone for the love of god please give me a coherent set of steps to get Houdini to interface with Pixars Renderman. I have ran proto_install and installed the display driver, renderman is in my Path if we are talking about the Windows Environmental Variable path:

%RATTREE%\bin;%RMANTREE%\bin;

I do not get a render pop-up after the driver installs, says something about a missing file. It keeps creating a Rendermn.ini file in My Documents instead of modifying the one thats in Rendermans bin directory. And I get the gzio message too. Oh and please do not refer me to that god awful odforce PrManSetup page since it is quite worthless. If I need to set up some Houdini environmental variable then how is that done? Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!

Hey FrenchOP,

Thanks for the link, I downloaded your tutorials and will watch them today. From the look of the replies you got they must be pretty good. Thanks for taking the time to pass your skills along!

Hello,

Thanks SideFX for the great package and the chance to kick the tires for a bit. I was wondering if there was anyway to get a tutorial or the .hip file of that cool exploding building you guys have with Houdini 8. That is an awesome effect and I would love to get a chance to take that apart and learn from it.

Thanks!
