Hello, was wondering when you will have plugin for UE 5.5 ready. Thank you

Hi,

The current plugin source code is already compatible with 5.5, but you'd need to build the plugin from source.

As for 5.5 binaries, we'll hopefully have them soon.
Epic has decided to bump the compiler version on Windows for 5.5, so it's taking a little longer than usual
since we can't simply update the compiler on our build machines for a version of Houdini that's already in production.

We'll have a look at Mac binaries once we've sorted the issue on Windows.

Hi,

Windows binaries for UE5.5 have been added to today's daily builds!
Mac binaries should follow soon.

does not work
edit : tested only houdini live link and houdini niagara plugins work but the houdini engine does not work daily build 20.5.437

Hi,

@Morphtek: We just tried on our end and the binaries that ship with the daily build worked fine on multiple windows machine for us.

How did you copy the Houdini Engine plugin ? did you use the old installer or the launcher ?
Was the plugin installed in the engine's plugins folder or the project's plugins folder ?

my bad i didnt explain properly it doesnt work with a c++ unreal project ,the regular blueprint based project works fine

do we need to build from source , to get it to be compatible with the ue5.5 c++ project ?
