Houdini Packages?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Anyone can advice how I can use Houdini Packages for Arnold?

I have tried many different approaches without success. One example below:

Arnold works normally in the env file, but in packages ROP properties are empty, and it doesn't render (traceback errors). Although the shelf is there.

{"path" : "C:/Users/billk/htoa/htoa-5.2.0_r0292f07_houdini-18.0.416/htoa-5.2.0_r0292f07_houdini-${HOUDINI_VERSION}/scripts/bin",
env" : [        
{
"HOUDINI_PATH" : "C:/Users/billk/htoa/htoa-5.2.0_r0292f07_houdini-18.0.416/htoa-5.2.0_r0292f07_houdini-${HOUDINI_VERSION}"
},
{
"PATH" : { method" : "prepend",
"value" : ["C:/Users/billk/htoa/htoa-5.2.0_r0292f07_houdini-18.0.416/htoa-5.2.0_r0292f07_houdini-${HOUDINI_VERSION}/scripts/bin"]
}
}
]
}

Thanks!

I tried to fix your formatting. I didn't change anything except whitespace.
why path and HOUDINI_PATH ?

Try this

{
"enable": true,
"env": [
{
"HTOA_DIR": "C:/htoa/5.2"
},
{
"HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR": "2"
},
{
"HOUDINI_PATH": "$HTOA_DIR"
},
{
"PATH": "$HTOA_DIR/scripts/bin"
}
]
}
