Houdini HIVE Equinox 2025 - Still Happening? July 21, 2025, 3:13 p.m.

Hello,

If this isn't appropriate to ask here, please let me know.

I'm checking in to see if there's any word on the Houdini HIVE Equinox that is supposedly happening this coming September. It's less than 2 months out from the posted date, and I'd like to schedule travel/stay/etc. as soon as possible if it's still a-go.

I'm running into issues with downloaded assets from Fab. As the documentation states, the Megascans feature in the Asset Library only works with assets downloaded from the Bridge - sadly now I cannot access most of my Megascans on the Bridge, so is there anything I could do or try?

I also would like to know if anyone else has gotten the FBX/OBJ + materials importing as expected. As of now, it's a bit of a wonky workflow. Thanks!
