Hello I am getting this error when I try to use octane in houdini. the shelf is loading but when I try to create an octane node I get this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Add_Octane_ROP", line 1, in <module>
File "/opt/hfs18.5.532/houdini/python3.7libs/roptoolutils.py", line 10, in createRenderNode
rop = hou.node('/out').createNode(rop_type, exact_type_name=exact_type_name)
File "/opt/hfs18.5.532/houdini/python3.7libs/houpythonportion/ui.py", line 1081, in decorator
return func(*args, **kwargs)
File "/opt/hfs18.5.532/houdini/python3.7libs/hou.py", line 13132, in createNode
return _hou.Node_createNode(self, node_type_name, node_name, run_init_scripts, load_contents, exact_type_name, force_valid_node_name)
hou.OperationFailed: The attempted operation failed.
Invalid node type name



I'm using a houdini package json file. I also tried with the houdini.env same result .

{
"env": [
{
"Octane_builds": "$HOUDINI_PACKAGE_PATH/Octane_builds"
},

{
"PATH" :
[
"$Octane_builds",

{
"houdini_version == '18.5.532'" : "$Octane_builds/houdini_18_5_532/bin",
"method": "append"
},

]
},
{
"HOUDINI_PATH" :
[
"$Octane_builds",

{
"houdini_version == '18.5.532'" : "$Octane_builds/houdini_18_5_532",
"method": "append"
},

]
}

]
}

You are working in Linux, right? This seems a problem loading the plugin. Do you know if the Octane Standalone 2020.2.3 works fine in this system? I want to discard a system or drivers issue.

If Standalone works fine, perhaps the problem is the lack of the freeglut lib in your system, used by the plugin IPR window. Can you please install it in your system?

Thanks,

Hi. I also have problem not geting octane to load in Houdini, I am on win 10 and come from c4d, one could consider me Windows noob as I am more used to Mac.

I have added the text to my env file, but I guess I miss something. I tried some json file editing in what I believe is the right path, all in vain.

I have the latest studio version of octane and Houdini Indi version (563)

Please someone guide me in the right direction.

You can check this video about the Houdini plugin installation. It is really easy, but if you can't configure it, can you please attach your houdini.env file to take a look at it here?

Yes, that helped, I also saw what the fault was, I left a dash to many in the path description in the .env file.
Now I got the octane stuff in gui in Houdini, lets make my first scene :)

Thanks again Juanjo!
