Hello,

I am using the new launcher SideFx has in beta for managing Houdini. I installed the UE4 plugin but I am not seeing it as a plugin that I am able to enable in UE4. I might be a little rusty on setting up. I am attaching a screenshot with the launcher/plugin information.


Okay, after spending some time reading through similar problems faced, and finally having a lightbulb moment, I figured out that you do indeed have to copy the plugin files manually from Houdini Folders, to the UE4 installation. I was under the assumption that installing the plugins meant it was installing them to the UE4 Engine. My mistake…

Hi,

That is correct, since H18.5 offers both Version1 and Version2 of the plug-in, we don't automatically copy the plugins files to unreal automatically.

It's up to you to copy the HoudiniEngine folder of your choice from Houdini's “engine/unreal/4.XX” to Unreal's “Engine/Plugins/Runtime” folder.
