Hello,
Has anyone had luck with the terrain tools in Houdini 16 on a mac? I can't get it to display wire frame or shaded.

Thank you.

There's been a GL3 fallback added for GPUs not capable of GL4, which you'll be able to get in the next daily build. It won't be quite as fully-featured as the GL4 display (no colors). If you do have a GL4 card in your Mac (that is reported as such in Help >About Houdini, Show Details), please submit a bug.

A GL4-capable GPU is strongly recommended for Houdini 16.

It's in the third “section” of the details text - OpenGL Version.

Converting it to polygons works though. At least you can see what you're doing.

@ferdi.kubin You're on a pre-release driver which seems suspicious? I'm on Windows though so I'm not sure if OSX normally gets reported as a pre-release driver.
