Setting HDA preset in Blueprints Sept. 24, 2024, 8:09 a.m.

Hi all,

Is it possible to set Houdini Presets from the Blueprints? I know we can set it from the details panel, or by selecting it from the content browser but I need to set it automatically from a BP!

1. I've saved a Houdini Preset Object from the HoudiniAssetComponent's Details menu.
2. Loaded the preset into a Blueprint Editor Utility Widget with a Variable
3. Can't see any way to apply the preset to the HDA in Blueprint? Is there a way to instantiate a preset directly instead?

Thanks for any info on this!

Turn off your antivirus before updating or installing Houdini Launcher.

Had the same issue and this fixed it, thank you!
