This is a production release of the OctaneRender™ 2024.1.Alpha_3.0 for Houdini™ plugin compiled with the Octane 2024.1 Alpha 3 core. This 2024.1.Alpha_3.0 release is available for the latest Houdini production builds on Windows x64, Linux, and macOS arm64.
Houdini production builds supported by this release: 19.0.720, 19.5.805, 20.0.506, 20.0.547, 20.0.590, 20.0.625.
If you are not sure if your Houdini version is compatible with the plugin - just run it and you will see an error message in case of incompatibility.
Linux Note
On Linux, this OctaneRender Houdini plugin release starts to support cxx11 ABI (gcc 11.2) Houdini 20 builds (the default Houdini 20 builds). For a start, this release provides H20.0.590 and H20.625 Cxx11 ABI plugin builds, and this release still provides all gcc 9.3 builds for Houdini 20.
You can install Houdini 20 gcc9.3 builds by the latest Houdini Launcher or download and install them from the downloads page:
https://www.sidefx.com/download/daily-b ... ction=true
or direct download link: houdini-20.0.625-linux_x86_64_gcc9.3.tar.gz
We would like to remove the gcc 9.3 builds eventually, so please give the new gcc 11.2 builds a go and report any problems you run into.
