Hi,

When i try to open the channel editor Houdini is crashing?

I just downloaded the latest build but i am still getting the same problem?

It was working fine yesterday and i can't think of anything i've upgraded which would have altered the program apart from the latest java drivers?

I'm using snow leapord on mac.

Any help would be great?

I had this problem for ~2 days. It went away as mysteriously as it arrived.

Sorry that's not more helpful…

im having the same problem, when I choose the channel editor pane, the computer goes into spinning beach ball of doom(mac) and I eventually have to force quit Houdini…

I had this once - solution was to move the houdiniX.Y directory into a backup folder. Houdini creates a new folder, crashing went away - never had the time to track down what caused the crash. Some GL settings maybe.

Hi thanks for the reply,

could you tell me where i can find the “houdiniX.Y directory” thanks again.

Please substitute X.Y with the major_version.minor_version of your Houdini install located in your home directory.

On windows, this would be in your home folder Applications folder I believe and the directory would be Houdini10.0. Move it or delete it and then restart Houdini.

still got the problem on my mac, making the channel editor useless…

What are the system specs of your mac? (OSX version, graphics card, CPU)

mac osx 10.6.5
houdini 10.0.507
macbook pro, Intel Core i7, 2,66 GHz
Memory: 4 GB
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone found a solution to this problem?

I really need the channel editor for a project i'm working on

Hi,

I just found a solution that seems to work on mac osx.

If you delete the Houdini folder inside Library>Preferences and then restart houdini it seems to be ok.

Hope this helps anyone else who has the same problem.

I just tried the fix and it seems to work well… excellent work chrisperry05!

BTW this was the answer I recvied from SESI after submitted a bugreport:

I'm sorry, but your GeForce card does not meet our system requirements.

… I didnt know that my newish macbook“PRO” isn't really up to snuf when it comes to Houdini :x , apple must up their game in the mobile GPUs or else the “pro”label should be changed into “semipro”…

but anyway , thanks for the fix
