Quick feedback:

1. When saving OTL, I got the same Houdini Error crash (just like Ari Danesh) using latest built of Houdini Master 12 (Houdini 12.0.581) on Windows 7, 64 bit. OTL still created though.

2. Saving to shelf
Under HELP tab, writing *** this is my coil *** gives nothing (when tool got hovered). After checking the documentation, apparently there is some kind of Wiki style formatting so that shelf tooltip gives useful information.

So, I guess it should be “”“ this is my coil ”“” for the tool to give information.

Thanks Ari for useful video tutorial on HDA,

One more thing, I am not sure if anyone else experiencing this.

After following tutorial on how to create shelf tool by dragging the node into the shelves, etc. I close Houdini.

When I reopen Houdini and click on the tool, I am getting this error:
“Cannot create node: incompatible pane network type”.

Any idea?

And apparently adding this alone ….

“”“ this is summary of tool ”“”


… is not enough.

######

Have to write something after that “summary” formatting.

“”“ this is summary of tool ”“”
This is description.

And by doing this, tooltip will show up.

I turned off Help URL checkbox as well.

File > Install Digital Asset Library…

This might work for you to fix the error.
