Hi all,

I've been sharing this in various other places but thought I'd post it here as well...

EVE - The Excellent VEX Editor for Houdini.

EVE provides a modern editor experience for VEX wrangles right within Houdini. This is most notable for autocomplete (never guess the order of function arguments again!), displaying help and error messages (displayed as tooltips), but also small quality of life improvements such as rainbow brackets and adjustable fonts. EVE serves as a drop-in replacement for Houdini's existing parameter pane.
It's available on the EVE website [cnvx.io], with 2 different purchase options (Creem and Gumroad), which should both work equally well.

Recently added features are support for parsing local information (such as your own function definitions and variables) and includes (e.g get autocomplete for all the functions in math.h!).

I'm working on additional features and am very happy to get user feedback.


By the way, EVE 1.0 is $19 for a 1-year license and $30 for a perpetual license both including any updates.

Thanks!

Just uploaded some flat themes to Github to be easier on the eyes: Github link [github.com]

I had this problem as well, and installing 16.5 or setting things in houdini.env as suggested above didn't help.

A workaround for me was to install the Intel OpenCL runtime for my Linux system. Now Houdini uses OpenCL on my CPU, which is much better than nothing (though my GPU supports OpenCL just fine in theory).
