Is Houdini Engine unsupported on iOS? 10134 19 2 May 3, 2015 4 a.m. Hi there, I was having some troubles getting Houdini Engine to work when my platform is set to iOS. I keep getting HoudiniErrorUnsupportedPlatform' was thrown. Am i doing something wrong, I was sure I'd seen some iOS demos showing live Digital Assets… I'm on Unity3d 5.0.0f4Installed Houdini Version: 14.0.291Mac OSX 10.10.3Thanks,Pete May 4, 2015 2:34 p.m. Houdini Engine is not supported on iOS. It is actually not supported as an in-game shipped middleware on any platform. For Unity, only Windows and Mac OSX are support and only in-editor as a level building tool.That said, you should not be getting any errors unless you programmatically call certain functions in C# yourself during gameplay. Are you doing that or are these exceptions just being thrown on their own? May 5, 2015 9:58 a.m. from the link:“This app uses 3D Smart Assets created in Houdini which were then loaded into the Houdini Engine inside Unity. The assets were then baked out and compiled into the Houdini AR app.”so not live - just baked out assets….

But we're not there yet.And the reason you get the error while on the iOS platform is that no Houdini Engine call can run on that platform and instantiating and asset requires some Houdini Engine calls. Existing assets in the scene will

Houdini 16.5 must be imminent... 13119 20 4 Oct. 14, 2017 8:48 a.m. That there will be a 16.5 that is clear but what we can expect. I have not a clue whats realy coming…. Oct. 15, 2017 3:36 a.m. I was also surprised that i had gotten an answer on older RFEs last week saying some of them will be implemented in the next major release. Maybe something is coming!

Oct. 24, 2017 5:46 p.m. I don't mean to stifle any excitement for the next release, but I often tag bugs & RFEs as “fixed in the next release” if the fix isn't backportable to the currently released version.I know, stick-in-the-mud, carry on Edited by malexander.

KB) Nov. 16, 2017 5:59 p.m. SciMunkSo, I tried some of your tips, I could notice a slight improve in speed, I get to about 16sec to generate a basic empty groom, and about 40 sec to generate a clumped fur.Yeti doesn't actually look any or much better than Houdini with some further testing. Your Houdini fur clumping looks way off as Yeti only clumps guide grooms anyways.I built a new scene with SOPs hair and for 4mil prims/33mil points it's only 22sec on Ryzen 7 1700.Reducing down to 10% generation is also very fast at 0.6sec.

Newer Cinema 4D Houdini Engine support 6938 11 2 Dec. 1, 2017 12:14 p.m. I'm wondering if there are newer builds of Houdini Engine for Cinema 4D that support H16.5? It seems like there's a separate cadence of releases for C4D that's lagging quite a bit so maybe this is something more on the Maxon end. Dec. 2, 2017 7:44 p.m. Having same issue, have C4D R19 and in preferences it's only showing Houdini Engine 16.0.633 have HoudiniIndie 16.5 so unsure whats up. maybe when C4D does it's next revision. Dec. 18, 2017 8:37 p.m. Same here the get houdini installer link downloads houdini 16.0.633 which is not helpful. Does sidefx produce the engine plugin? can I download it from the sidefx website somewhere? Feb. 13, 2018 9:14 a.m. There is a new update for Cinema today and I installed it and it is still showing 16.0.633 version for houdini engine, which is very disappointing. Feb. 18, 2018 2:35 p.m. So what's our way around this? Do we have one? I finally updated to 16.5 and now I'm finding NOTHING works in Cinema which is where I use Houdini and I regret updating entirely. Is it possible to roll back to 16 until they sort their pipeline out? This is maddening. Feb. 20, 2018 9:07 a.m. robleymcdonnellIs it possible to roll back to 16 until they sort their pipeline out?It's always possible to download and install builds for older major versions of Houdini (back to 12.0 at the moment) from [www.sidefx.com] If the latest build of the major version that you need doesn't work, you can ask support for a specific build, though it's best to try the latest build first. (It'd be nice if we could provide direct downloads of all builds, but it'd be a network nightmare.)Nathan ApffelDoes sidefx produce the engine plugin? can I download it from the sidefx website somewhere?SideFX does not produce the Cinema 4D engine plugin.Sorry that I can't be of more help. Writing code for fun and profit since... 2005? Wow, I'm getting old. [www.youtube.com] April 2, 2018 9:35 a.m. Is it possible to run both the 16.0633 version for the cinema 4d compatible Houdini engine and a 16.5 version or can you only use one license at a time? April 13, 2018 10:39 p.m. @r_ross Yes. Aug. 18, 2022 1:33 p.m. Does anyone know if there is support for Houdini engine in Cinema 4D R26?

2025-04-12Error in Open Houdini Indie in Houdini FX ! 7709 6 0 Oct. 18, 2014 4:22 p.m. I try to open hiplc file in the Houdini FX , But I take error message.Maybe we can just open hiplc files in the new versions of the Houdini , right ?I using H13.0.401 Oct. 20, 2014 4:17 p.m. .hiplc files cannot be used with the full commercial version of Houdini. However, I recall in the past that Side Effects would convert your Apprentice .hipnc scenes to the .hip format if you upgraded to a full commercial license, and I assume they'll most likely do the same for .hiplc scenes as well. I poked around a bit but couldn't find a reference to this service on the site… I'd try contacting the support team and see if they can point you in the right direction. Oct. 20, 2014 4:19 p.m. shouldn't opening a Houdini Indie scene file in Houdini FX turn that session into a Houdini Indie session?as would happen with Apprentice? Michael Goldfarb | www.odforce.netTraining LeadSideFXwww.sidefx.com Oct. 20, 2014 4:22 p.m. It should work - H13.0.401 is most likely too old, before Indie was released I believe - try the latest builds. Oct. 20, 2014 9 p.m. arctorshouldn't opening a Houdini Indie scene file in Houdini FX turn that session into a Houdini Indie session?as would happen with Apprentice?I think you won't be getting an indie session unless you have an indie licence, regardless of having an fx license.

2025-04-24Any rumours of Houdini 19? 136951 381 10 May 27, 2021 12:42 p.m. Just wondering… May 28, 2021 11:27 a.m. With the lack of physical conventions and all the press that generally accompanies them, upgrade cycles have taken a back seat for better or worse. SideFX is one of several companies who seems to have shifted their release intervals. I wouldn't expect any major announcement at least until the Summer. May 28, 2021 3:35 p.m. Well, at least there is a thread about it now. That's usually the first step! Edited by Jonathan de Blok - May 28, 2021 15:35:33 More code, less clicks. May 28, 2021 5:29 p.m. It will come right after RenderMan 24. June 1, 2021 3:21 a.m. I just want to say that artists should stop being spoiled and stop pressuring these companies, especially private ones. Be happy that SideFX is not owned by shareholders otherwise you would see the dark side of development. Let them do what they need to do to make sure every next release is solid. After 7y of Cinema 4D I switched to Houdini and one of the reasons was exactly that one, company that is privately owned. I just hope devs and everyone else in the company is treated well and that SideFX is from its core a good guy, just as Houdini(software) itself is. June 1, 2021 11:56 a.m. SIgor420I just want to say that artists should stop being spoiled and stop pressuring these companies, especially private ones.I hope you're joking...right? First of all, these "artists" that you're referring to are customers, some of us paying thousands of dollars each year for the "privilege" of using Houdini. Secondly, there are a lot of things about Houdini that still need work and improvement and I don't see anything "spoiled" about asking for updates at semi-regular intervals. Thirdly the reason why Maxon's development is so slow has nothing to do with it being publicly owned, it's got to do with poor management and lack of ideas -- there are plenty of examples of publicly owned companies who have great update releases with innovative ideas. And finally, the rest of the world is moving on with some pretty massive updates in case you haven't noticed lately, so for Houdini to remain competitive in a rapidly changing industry, it has to continue to evolve just as rapidly. There is nothing spoiled about customers
