What is EXR. file in AE that you imported ? And how can I export from houdini? I'm a beginner.

EXR is an image format, like jpeg or png or tiff. When you render in Houdini, you will most likely be rendering a series of EXR files.

It does not work anymore with houdini 18 :(

In H18 just fix Python script in asset. Add # before strings 470-473:
# hou_css_r=int(hou_css_color.group(1))
# hou_css_g=int(hou_css_color.group(2))
# hou_css_b=int(hou_css_color.group(3))
# self.setStyleSheet("background-color: rgb(%d, %d, %d)"%(hou_css_r,hou_css_g,hou_css_b))

Could you explain step-by-step how to do that? I'm not sure I know where to go and actually access the code that you're showing. Thank you.

Create node "houdini_2_ae" > Right click > Type Properties... > Scripts tab > Select houdini_2_ae on left side and find this code on the right side.

Thank you! I'm curious but, how did you figure out this fix?

It worked under 18.5.351, but not anymore on 18.5.499

I'm afraid that with: 1. Houdini having some massive updates under the hood with the latest versions and 2. The Houdini2AE add-on not being maintained anymore by the original creator; the only feasible options to export a Houdini scene to AfterEffects remains to export an FBX or ABC to Blender and then utilize Blender's export to AE to get the data in there. It's a free solution that works, as clunky as it might sound.

Happy to report that in H19.0.383 it's working!
MaKru 2 years, 2 months ago |
did yu only added the # in line 470-473 that it works in 19.0.383?

(But you do have to apply the fix mentioned above)

To make the plugin work in python 3 is disable line 69 of the script # self.lb_header_photo_pixmap.loadFromData(self.node_section_header)

This works in H19.0.393
Consolidating other comments:
1. Right click the plugin -> Type Properties -> Scripts -> houdini_2_ae
2. Add a # infront of lines 69, 469-473
3. Apply/accept - the plugin should work correctly now
