Hi all,

I'm new to houdini + octane.


I've just instaled the plugin.
I use windows 10 in french langage.

When running houdini I've got this message at startup :
(0) couldn't load C:/program
Files/OTOY/O
La procedure specifie est introuvable

But the missing dll exist in the right folder. It seems the space between "program" and "file" in "program file" is the problem (the error message jump to next line between "program" and "file" as I wrote above.

What I did for installing :

1 - I put the "Octane_2021.1.5.0_Houdini_19.0.622_Win64" folder in "C:\Program Files\OTOY" folder.
2 - I wrote following lines in "houdini.env" file :
PATH = "C:\Program Files\OTOY\Octane_2021.1.5.0_Houdini_19.0.622_Win64\bin;$PATH"
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:\Program Files\OTOY\Octane_2021.1.5.0_Houdini_19.0.622_Win64;&"
HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2

I'm using houdini 19.5.303

Thanx for your answer.

Sorry, the error messge is not complete in the last post.

It is :

(0) couldn't load C:/program
Files/OTOY/Octane_2021.1.5.0_Houdini_19.0.622_Win64/dso/HoudiniOctane_19.0.622.dll
La procedure specifie est introuvable

The last line means "unable to find the dll".

As you can imagine, you can't use the plugin compiled for H19.0.622 "Octane_2021.1.5.0_Houdini_19.0.622" with Houdini 19.5.303. You need to use the proper plugin build for each Houdini version. You can download plugin builds for H19.5.303 directly from the forum release posts:
