Use Octane plugin with Houdini apprentice? Tweet

[lakris]

Im looking at buying a Houdini indie license, but for now im testing the noncommercial version.
Is it possible to use the Octane beta (and finished) plugin with Houdini apprentice?
I know octane but im very new to Houdini.

I have been using the Blender plugin since the beginning, and now i think its time to upgrade, if i Can handle Houdini.

Thx
Lakris

Currently only the full commercial Houdini and Houdini FX licenses support external render plugins. Houdini Apprentice and Houdini Indie don't support external renderers, so the Octane plugin doesn't work with them.

Ok, thank you.

Its hard(expensive) to do this, as a hobby

Guys, it was changed now, houdini 17+ and 18 support external renderer now, octane should work on it?

Are you talking about Houdini Indie? Yes, the plugin works on Houdini Indie for a long time.

Thanks,
