hi,

i am trying to install the demo but am just getting the error 126.

the path seems alright as i get the menu above. the dll seems to be the problem.
hope someone can help me fix this.

best,

Hi,

Yes, it seems that your system has a problem to load the plugin .dll file. What are your system specs?

A first good test to know if Octane works fine on your system would be to try to run Octane standalone. If it works, we could discard any problem related to the system or the NVIDIA drivers.

Thanks,

hi juan,

thank you very much for the reply.

i have the plugin installed for c4d and 3ds max. both worked as did the standalone.

i thought that the path was incorrect and was messing with, but seems its a bigger problem then that.

regards,

Can you please attach the houdini.env file that you are using to check it here? ... and what is the path to the Houdini plugin build on your HD?

Thanks,

i was messing with the path and now i cannot seem to even have it load with the dll error.
while trying different paths i got confused:/

my octane path is in the C:/Octane
system is win10 and houdini 16.0.633 is installed in the default path.

i was looking to the manual and other posts and am not sure how to formulate the path tbh. this is how it looks at the moment.


PATH = /Octane/bin;$PATH HOUDINI_PATH = /Octane

HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2

Well, if you have the plugin in C:\Octane the houdini.env file should be something like:

Code: Select all

HOUDINI_DSO_ERROR = 2
PATH = "C:/Octane/bin;$PATH"
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/Octane;&"
But, are you sure that this is the direct path to the files and folders that the plugin .zip file has inside the "Octane_3.06.4.0_Houdini_16.0.633" directory?

Thanks,
