octane plugin don't work

[supermac]

ok.. sorry.. i don't understand very well..

i installed the redistributable package,
but i don't change houdini.env
i can't open houdini.env
i must change something in houdini.env or not?

i use windows 10.. it's a problem?

In Windows 10 all should work fine. Don't you have a houdini.env file in your Documents/Houdini15.0 folder, where you have put the plugin folders?

With the plugin folders in the $HOME directory, you don't need to touch the houdini.env file, but it must be there, in the Documents/Houdini15.0 directory.

I must leave now for one hour, perhaps later we could chat by skype if you can't fix the problem.

Don't work..

i placed all together with houdini.env, in the same file.

Ok. I was wrong, my mistake, sorry.

Even if you copy all the plugin folders in the Houdini $HOME directory, you must edit the houdini.env file and add the PATH line:

PATH = "C:/Users/Orel/Documents/houdini15.0/bin;$PATH"



Please, add this line to the houdini.env file and try again.

[juanjgon]

It is text file, you can edit it with the Notepad without problems.

OK coolll..
it's perfect...
Thank you very much.
Now i can try.
Thank you for your super job.
See you

Best regards

Great! ... the problem is that in Linux you don't need to set this PATH variable, and I had forgotten that in Windows you must always set it, even for a bin folder in the $HOME directory.
