RenderMan for Houdini (RfH) 24.0 2 currently only provides support for the following production Houdini versions: 17.5.460, 18.0.597, 18.5.532633, 18.5.563672, 18.5.596.696, and 19.0.383.

  • Rendering with RenderMan will not operate on Houdini Apprentice editions, see Side FX's website for options that allow Third Party Rendering

RfH does not yet support Python3 versions of Houdini.

Note

The environment variable for RfH must be listed first in the houdini.env file. (Windows requires a semi-colon) For example:

HOUDINI_PATH=$RFHTREE/1819.50.596383:&


RenderMan for Houdini with Solaris requires an additional line in the configuration file to be able to render in-memory vdbs:

RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH = $RFHTREE/1819.50.596383/openvdb:&


RenderMan for Houdini on Windows requires an additional line in the configuration file:

PATH=$RMANTREE\bin;&

Code Block
RMANTREE=/opt/pixar/RenderManProServer-24.02
RFHTREE=/opt/pixar/RenderManForHoudini-24.02
RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH=$RFHTREE/1819.50.596383/openvdb:&

On Windows with 18.0, one would edit the file in: \Users\myself\Documents\houdini18.0\houdini.env:

RMANTREE=C:\Program Files\Pixar\RenderManProServer-24.02
RFHTREE=C:\Program Files\Pixar\RenderManForHoudini-24.02
RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH=$RFHTREE\1819.50.596383\openvdb;&
HOUDINI_PATH=$RFHTREE\1819.50.596383;&
PATH=$RMANTREE\bin;&

Finally an example on OS-X with 18.0, one would edit this in: /Users/myself/Library/Preferences/houdini/18.0/houdini.env:
