Can't get simple point instancing to work using Aug. 10, 2021, 10:33 a.m.

I duplicated your setup and it worked for me as well.

Maybe try recreating and testing in a new hda?

Make sure you add the required attributes on the rbdbulletsolver.

Eg on the Advanced tab, add P pivot orient and check the Transfer to Geometry box

Runtime error in packaged build, can't find Houdini module July 10, 2021, 8:46 p.m.

The easiest way to use the plugin is probably to grab the prebuilt binaries off of github: https://github.com/sideeffects/HoudiniEngineForUnreal-v2/releases [github.com]


Make sure to grab the version that matches the version of Unreal you are using.

You can install the plugin either directly in the engine folder (in "Engine/Plugins/Runtime/HoudiniEngine") or in your project folder (in "Plugins/Runtime/HoudiniEngine").

Installing the plugin
Download the pre-built binaries of the plugin in the "Releases" section of this repository.

Extract the "HoudiniEngine" folder in the release to the "Plugins/Runtime" folder of Unreal. You can install the plugin either directly in the engine folder (in "Engine/Plugins/Runtime/HoudiniEngine") or in your project folder (in "Plugins/Runtime/HoudiniEngine").

Start Unreal Engine, open the Plug-ins menu and make sure to enable the HoudiniEngine v2 plug-in (in the Rendering section). Restart UE4 if you had to enable it.

To confirm that the plug-in has been successfully installed and enabled, you can check that the editor main menu bar now has a new "Houdini Engine" menu, between "Edit" and "Window".
