About Me

Transitioning from a coder to a 3D artist. Houdini was the best option for me after I explored a different number of 3D software applications. I love the procedural workflow in Houdini and how easily accessible the attributes of the geometry are available to the user. This makes it a lot easier t...  more

Crash when plugging MTLX Std Surface to Output Nov. 15, 2024, 12:05 p.m.

Hi,

I'm getting this really really weird crash when I plug in the MTLX Standard Surface to the Output for a Karma Material. My material is super large, it contains a ton of nodes that are building dynamic masks based on primvars in Solaris and all connected to the MTLX Standard Surface. Karma renderer is OFF when it crashes when I connect it to the output.

What is even more weird is when I take a portion 1/4 of my node setup in the Karma Material and hook it upto the same MTLX Standard Surface to the output, it's fine! No crash. And I slowly build it up, adding all my other nodes to the same MTLX Standard Surface, it has a higher chance of working! In comparison to when I connect all the nodes with Karma Renderer OFF to the same MTLX Standard Surface to the output, it 100% crashes, without log and without warning.

Can someone shed some insight on this?

Steam Houdini Engine 19.5.737 or above for UE 5.3 Sept. 20, 2023, 3:33 p.m.

Hi,
I'm trying to put together a small project with friends, but I hit an issue because we want to use some of the neat features in UE 5.3, but I bought Houdini on Steam and the daily builds on Steam aren't really daily, it only goes up to 19.5.716, but I need 19.5.737 or above to get compatibility with the Houdini Engine for UE 5.3.

It would help a lot if someone could slap one of the more recent daily builds 19.5.737 or above on Houdini Steam?
