Hello dears,

I get error messages when trying to download materials from the LiveDB in Houdini.
Somebody else have the same issue?

*** OCTANE API MSG: Could not load 'assets\chestnut Rushmore.jpg:rgba'.
*** OCTANE API MSG: FileName::toJuceFile() can be called only on absolute file names
*** OCTANE API MSG: Could not load 'assets\chestnut Rushmore.jpg:rgba'.

Thanks.

Hi,

What is your LiveDB textures directory configuration? You have these options in the plugin options panel. By default, it is $JOB/tex ... perhaps you have a problem to work with this directory because it is not available.

Thanks,

Yes thanks Juanjo, that seems to be the problem.

How could I make the directory available?

Regards.

You can set the Houdini $JOB folder in the top menu File->Set Project option, but you can choose any path on your system.
