Hi
I receive error during cooking sop_av_photogrammetry node despite adding path to Alice Vision to environment variable or directly setting it in sop node.

Popup window title: Alice VIsion not installed\
Text: No material generated

My env path: ALICEVISION_PATH = D:\Dokumenty\houdini17.5\AliceVision-2.0.0
Any ideas what is wrong?

Hi,

I checked your logs, and this is the error:
This program needs a CUDA-Enabled GPU (with at least compute capablility 2.0).

Does your machine have a CUDA-Enabled GPU as requested above?

well, i will add my error to this thread, maybe it helps…

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<stdin>”, line 1, in <module>
File “opdefgamedev:op/sop_av_photogrammetry?PythonModule”, line 4, in ManualCook
File “opdefgamedev:op/sop_av_initialize?PythonModule”, line 59, in cookNode
File “CPROGRA~1/SIDEEF~1/HOUDIN~1.222/houdini/python2.7libs\hou.py”, line 10459, in cook
return _hou.Node_cook(*args, **kwargs)
OperationFailed: The attempted operation failed.
Error while cooking.


this is what i get when i try to cook … newest houdini build , newest gamedev , alicevision 2.0.0 , no whitespaces in the alicevision path (but in the houdini path, due to german windows)

maybe someone can help me

Hi,

I will need the log files from both of you if I want to be able to figure out where it goes wrong
You can find these in your Cache directory.

Once you get that error, could you dive inside the node and tell me what the error on the python sop is there?
(Probably need to dive inside sop_av_photogrammetry first, and then sop_av_initialize next)

SOLVED!!

always check and double check the naming if you're running linux.
If the variable is set to Alicevision-2.1.0 and not AliceVision-2.1.0 it can't work.

Hey!

Good catch, just to prevent future users from running into the same issue I'll add some more checks in my code to catch these issues.

Thanks!

I've an error too. But my env file is correct.

If i dive inside, the error happend on the sop_av_structure_from_motion1 node when doing camera connection maybe.

I want to chime in and ive been trying to get alice vision working , it seems to cook everything just fine up to the “texturing” node, the error I keep running into is the “deleting nodes is not allowed during cooking” , seems to red warning sign on the load material python node

I've double checked my alice vision path and it currently this (as stated above)

## ALICE VISION ##
ALICEVISION_PATH="C:\Users\Adad\Documents\houdini_plugins\AliceVision-2.1.0"


Houdini 17.5.360
Game Dev Tools 1.196

Any ideas?

Hi, everyone

I got the exact same results as Ignash, and I also modified the .env file accordingly.

Is there any way to make it work in houdini 18 as of yet ?

Hello

I am having serious problems getting going with the alicevision plugin.

I have the latest version of the houdini labs shelf, both alicevision 2.3 and 2.4

Been doing everything "right" down to the letter, but I still get these errors. Starting with Camera will not initiate. Tried using the sample file on the site. Absolutely no gaps in my paths.

Meshroom (both versions) seem to be working fine. But the Houdini workflow is not working at all.

I would send you the log, but I really don't know where to find it!

I've got issues too. For me AV_Initialize fails, when I check the error it says:

Unfortunately a known bug I have known about for some time The support tickets that have been opened about it don't reply to my questions, which has made it impossible to fix for me. If you could answer that question instead that'd be great!

Could you tell me what the value of the "Environment" parameter found under the advanced collapsible menu on the AV Photogrammetry says?
Is it returning something sensible, or is it erroring? If it looks sensible please copy the entire contents and save it in a txt and send it to me (Click on the string inside the parm, hit control+a, then copy) Please email that txt to support@sidefx.com!

It's a JSON key-value list, apparently. I've sent it via mail
