Hi, I am currently using 20.5.278 on Windows.
I am getting these error messages when I try to import Alembic Archive.

Traceback (most recent call last):

I tried to figure it out on Google but couldn't solve the problem.
I've tried
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/Program Files/Side Effects Software/Houdini 20.5.278;&"
HOUDINI_PYTHON_VERSION = 3.11
on houdini.env
,
Reinstalling,
Remove Python from the window.

Could someone give me some help?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Thank you. just updated and checked it works!

Hi!
I need some help

crowd : fbx import agent clip in 18.5 won't converted into in-place animation.
==

Other than importing each fbx clip into agent node and export through ROP net then importing back to one Agent node,
in houdini 18.0, agentclip node can import fbx files also.

However, in agentclip node, I created locomotion joint and check on in-place animation won't trigger Clip as in-place animation. Clip preview is still playing as moving clip.

If I go back and do it in old way, export through agent node and import as agent definition cache, clip in-place and locomotion works fine.

Could someone help me with this please?
