Mantra stopped working after installing Redshift.
Does anyone has any solution for it. I have setup env file as mentioned in Redshift installation guides.
HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2
PATH = “C

ProgramData/Redshift/bin;$PATH”
HOUDINI_PATH = “C

ProgramData/Redshift/Plugins/Houdini/17.5.229;&”

I am using Houdini 17.5.229, Redshift 2.6.41, Windows 10 and GTX 1070 Ti

What error do you receive when you attempt a Mantra render?

I have the same issue. I am not getting an error message. It says just “generating scene…” on the render view tab. or if I try to open the render panel with a mantra node than there is a nothing. Render screen is not opening. If I delete the redsift code in the env file than everting is ok. Mantra is working.

@Daryl, mantra doesn't show any error, just generating scene and it continues forever.
But i never get the output.

I was just running through a tutorial from Etnagma and also got issues with using Mantra, it can't seem to find a license even though I'm running the Indie version. Has Solaris broken Mantra rendering, or installing my Octane Studio license broken it?

I really want to finish the final steps of the tutorial and want to stick with Mantra for the time being.

I fixed issue by enabling RedShift via json package.
In my case the problem was on a macbook m1.

I tried to configure RedShift via

houdini.env

but mantra stopped working.
After a little digging I noticed that removing

PATH

section from

houdini.env

helps. I haven't tested this well enough so this solution may cause problems

Anyway, I created

/Users/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/Library/Preferences/houdini/HOUDINI_VERSION/packages/redshift.json

file and put the next content to it:

{
  "env": [
    { "RS_PLUGIN_VERSION": "20.5.370_arm64" },
    { "REDSHIFT_COREDATAPATH": "/Applications/redshift" },
    {
      "HOUDINI_PATH": "${REDSHIFT_COREDATAPATH}/redshift4houdini/${RS_PLUGIN_VERSION}"
    },
    { "PATH": "${REDSHIFT_COREDATAPATH}/bin" },
    {
      "PXR_PLUGINPATH_NAME": "${REDSHIFT_COREDATAPATH}/redshift4solaris/${RS_PLUGIN_VERSION}"
    }
  ]
}

Make sure you set the

RS_PLUGIN_VERSION

to correct one.

I hope this helps someone.
