I kept trying the methods until one worked. Number 3 worked for me

“ Rename the installer so it is a simple one-word name with no special characters (without removing the .exe suffix)

Example: install.exe ”

I changed the name to be one word installhoudini.exe, just kept it simple like the example explained. Now it works.

Thanks

I kept trying to download the Houdini 12.1.77 production build last night for windows 7 64bit and it fails every time.

It starts the download and then gets to 18mb, pauses for a bit then continues to 20mb. Once it hits 20mb it says the download is complete.

I also tried 12.1.33 and also got the same results. I have tried using 3 different browsers(Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Chrome), thinking it was something on my side but seems like its not.

Anyone have a troubleshoot for downloading builds off the side effects site?

I am really hoping to get this new build soon as my current build has broken pyro shaders and makes it a little difficult to render.

thanks,

Hi Steff,

So I took a look at your file. I saw you are not playing with the shaping tools at all. These can really change the look of your fire.

Do you have a reference of what type of look you are going for?

If your source is moving I would stay away from turbulence, because the movement will create that anyways. Try playing with the shredding and sharpening tools. Also adding a gas wind with some randomization on it can give it a cool look also.

I will try and put something together when I get home tonight.
