Unreal Engine 4.11 has officially been released and brings many important improvements. The company I work for intends to update, but we are waiting for plug-in updates (Substance and Houdini Engine). Judging by https://github.com/sideeffects/HoudiniEngineForUnreal/issues/19 [github.com] the 4.11 Houdini Engine plug-in seems pretty far along. Is there a rough estimation on when it will be officially available?

Thaks in advance!

We are in the process of adding it to the installer and we will add it in the few upcoming days. But you should be able to build it yourself from our source if you need it ASAP.

Thx!

I was about to ask where I could get the source and then I remembered that I can google it…

Is the Engine incoming for 4.11.1 by any chance? I can build from source, but would rather not if it is coming in the next few days or so…?

Ta!

Hello!

Yes, we are working on it. We have certain issues integrating it into our build pipeline on Mac OS X and that's why it is delayed.

Thank you!

Thanks for the quick response.

My Vive is coming tomorrow and I'm really keen to try my new project with it. Fingers crossed you sort out Mac issues!

Good luck!

Would love an update on this too. I posted over on Github issues to:

https://github.com/sideeffects/HoudiniEngineForUnreal/issues/19#issuecomment-210690271 [github.com]

I'm sure you guys are on the case. Just wondering if there is an ETA? If it's going to be more than a few days I think I'm going to be better off compiling from source again….

We still have issues building a Mac OS X version, but Windows version has been integrated and should be available now through the installer.

Please let me know and thank you!

Just tried with latest daily (15.0.453) and the only option on Windows is for 4.10. I tried to install anyway with UE4 4.11.2 in the hopes it might still work, but it did not install the plugin.

Am I missing a separate Houdini Engine installer somehow…?

I believe it was committed today. Should be available in tomorrow's build of 15.0 . Sorry for a bit of miscommunication there
