ZeroMQ (ZMQ) Client in Houdini ? May 6, 2022, 10:40 a.m.
Hello Everyone !
I've been trying to create a data transmission tunnel (or a live link, even better) between houdini and Unity, which is C#.
I have very little knowledge in this for now. I've been advised to use ZeroMQ for this inter-language case. I know rpyc is easily supported by Houdini but I did not dig that way yet.
Anyway, atm I get this error with Houdini 19.0.589
error :
I tried from python sop and from houdinicore.py.
Is there a valid way to import zmq in houdini ?

Non-blocking displayMessage() popup ? March 16, 2022, 7:18 a.m.
Hello everyone !
Is there a way to show a popup that does not block houdini processes ?
context : My houdinicore.py displays a popup (api: hou.ui.displayMessage() ) when houdini starts. But it freezes houdini startup until user closes the popup, which is bad UX.
I'd rather have houdini continue starting, and the user can close the popup whenever it prefers.
thank you very much !
