How to instal OpenFX plugins? Oct. 24, 2025, 12:34 p.m.

JustinCrapse
I installed the demo for Sapphire. The plugin shows up in C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins, but nothing is showing up in Houdini Copernicus.

My system environment variables:
OFX_PLUGIN_PATH = "C:\Program Files\Common Files\OFX\Plugins"
HOUDINI_DISABLE_OPENFX_DEFAULT_PATH = 0

Am I missing something?

EDIT: So I fired up Houdini 20.5 and it worked. Still does not work in Houdini 21.

that should be enough to get Houdini to look for OpenFX plugins. can you see if there are any errors on the console?

Hello, while we seek to solve the underlying issue here you can set the environment variable HOUDINI_DISABLE_OPENFX_DEFAULT_PATH to 1 to disable Houdini automatically trying to pick up OpenFX plugins; (you may also need to unset OFX_PLUGIN_PATH if that is set.)

Hi, you can set the environment variable HOUDINI_DISABLE_OPENFX_DEFAULT_PATH to 1; (you may also need to unset OFX_PLUGIN_PATH if that is set.)
