Running Houdini on Intel ARC Integrated GPU Sept. 4, 2025, 12:10 p.m.
Hey guys,
I've recently ran into a set of GPU-related crashes when trying Copernicus (File, Constant COPs) and OpenCL SOP nodes. It looks like, though not a solution, there's a workaround, which hopefully may be solved in the future if SideFX decides to support Intel GPUs:
Add the following 2 lines into your Houdini start script:
I hope that may help somebody in the future.
Cheers!

glTF: exporting node-level attributes Oct. 26, 2023, 12:46 p.m.
Hey guys,
glTF has the notion of nodes, basically objects are tagged as nodes with a set of standard attributes like "name" and "(transform)matrix", e.g.:
Is there a way to export a custom node-level attribute in Houdini?
For instance I would like to export object's mass or velocity as a node attribute in glTF.
Of course I could write it as a mesh attribute, but I wonder if there's another way.
Thanks,
Vlad

Custom collision hulls for UE via HE Aug. 1, 2022, 10:27 a.m.
K, the solution turned out pretty simple: per chunk (visual mesh + collision geo (with group names "collision_geo_ucx...") -> merge -> pack).
