Hi,

The houdini.env file has a couple of mistakes (not your fault, the docs must be updated). It should be:

Code: Select all
HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2
PATH = "C:/Program Files/OTOY/Octane_3.07.0.1_Houdini_16.0.705_Win64/bin;$PATH"
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/Program Files/OTOY/Octane_3.07.0.1_Houdini_16.0.705_Win64;&"


But in any case, the main problem here is that Houdini Apprentice doesn't support external renderers, so all the Octane ROP node render functions are disabled. You could open the IPR to test the plugin, but you are not going to be able to render to disk anything.

Houdini Indie supports external renderers, but the Apprentice version not.

Thanks,
-Juanjo

From the ROP node or from the shelf. Take a look at the tutorial in the docs:

Hi,

The Houdini version and the plugin version installed and pointed by the PATH and HOUDINI_PATH variables must match. If you have the "Octane_3.07.0.1_Houdini_16.0.633_Win64" plugin installed in your HD and configured in the houdini.env file, you must download and install Houdini 16.0.633 to work with it.

Thanks,
-Juanjo

More related information. The current Octane 3.08 test build has a proper plugin build for Houdini 16.5.268.

You are working with the latest Houdini 16.5.323 production build, but the current plugin for the 16.5.268 should work fine on it, so after installing the 16.5.268 plugin build on your HD, if you configure your houdini.env file adding these lines, it should work fine:

Code: Select all
HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2
PATH = "C:/Program Files/OTOY/Octane_3.08.0.0_Houdini_16.5.268_Win64/bin;$PATH"
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/Program Files/OTOY/Octane_3.08.0.0_Houdini_16.5.268_Win64;&"



Thanks,
