Education licence: how to use Houdini Engine for Unreal Jan. 15, 2026, 11:35 a.m.
If you are using Houdini Indie then you need to be using Houdini Engine for Indie. Again No Houdini Engine for Unreal/Unity because that will be the default license grabbed by Unreal and it cannot open .hdalc files.
The Houdini Engine for Indie will open both .hdalc and .hda files but not .hdanc.

In case you missed it, the deadline has been moved to January 31, 2026.
We are getting some great entries that are on the longer side. There is definitely room for some 10-20 minute quickstart/quicktip-type lessons that teach one thing very quickly. This would be good for the node-reference category for sure.
