I am trying to combine usdview and houdini engine api to marshall usd mesh into houdini, I just simply get the usd mesh and its geo data into a python list, then use boost to bring those data into c++ code. I kind of get the result I want, I marshall the usd mesh to houdini native geometry. But the problem is, the result only happens inside houdini. When I invoke the python module that generated using boost outside houdini, I would get such error:

Thrift: Mon Dec 30 15:02:13 2019 TPipe:pen ::CreateFile errored GLE=errno = 2

even using InProcessSession, I would get these error:

Could any one help me with these issues? Thanks a lot.

I do not understand what you are trying to accomplish here… Why do you need Houdini Engine to bring a USD mesh into Houdini?

just for fun.
