Has anyone tried Houdini on AlmaLinux or RockyLinux? Jan. 27, 2024, 9:18 a.m.

Regarding Alma Linux, be aware that it is no longer bug-for-bug compatible with RHEL, and we do not test on Alma, so your mileage may vary. See: https://almalinux.org/blog/future-of-almalinux/ [almalinux.org] Rocky Linux continues to be however.

Houdini installed fine but as you said the help menu won't load properly. Any pointers to how to get that working? Would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot! Man Houdini feels so good on linux.

I develop on Rocky Linux 9 and have not run into any major issues. The only issue that I have encountered is that the Help Browser does not work, which is a common issue that many newer operating systems are experiencing. It seems to be Qt related, but we're still looking into it.


Just setting up rocky 9.3 with KDE. Houdini installed fine but as you said the help menu won't load properly. Any pointers to how to get that working? Would be greatly appreciated!

shop_materialpath not working Sept. 17, 2023, 5:27 p.m.

Your screens are too blurry to read, but your paths are probably wrong. It looks like your s@shop_materialpath starts with /obj. Typically they start with /mat. Do your materials exist? What render engine are you targeting?

They are correct and the materials do exist as stated. Otherwise it would not suddenly start working after splitting and merging the parts that do not work.
