The environment variable for RfH must be listed first in the houdini.env file. (Windows requires a semi-colon) For example: HOUDINI_PATH=$RFHTREE/1718.5.351:& RenderMan for Houdini 23 with when using Solaris now only requires an additional line in the configuration file: RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH = $RFHTREE/18.5.0351/openvdb:& RenderMan for Houdini 23 on Windows now requires an additional line in the configuration file: PATH=$RMANTREE\bin;& Additional instructions and details are found below in this document. |

Windows: %HOME%\Documents\houdiniXhoudiniXX.X.X\houdini.env Mac: ~/Library/Preferences/houdini/YY.Y.Y/houdini.env Linux: ~/houdiniYYhoudiniZZ.Z.YZ/houdini.env |
NOTE: When you run a new version of Houdini for the first time, you may have to run it twice before the houdini.env files appear in the locations mentioned above, once created you can add the lines mentioned below.
...
For example on Linux, one would edit this file in: $HOME/houdini18.05/houdini.env:
| Code Block |
|---|
RMANTREE=/opt/pixar/RenderManProServer-23.35 RFHTREE=/opt/pixar/RenderManForHoudini-23.3 RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH=5 #Uncomment the following line only when using Solaris #RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH = $RFHTREE/18.5.0351/openvdb:& HOUDINI_PATH=$RFHTREE/18.05.351:& |
On Windows with 18.05, one would edit the file in: \Users\myself\Documents\houdini18.05\houdini.env:
NOTE: Windows uses a semi-colon instead of a colon to separate the HOUDINI_PATH!
| Code Block |
|---|
RMANTREE=C:\Program Files\Pixar\RenderManProServer-23.35 RFHTREE=C:\Program Files\Pixar\RenderManForHoudini-23.3 RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH=$RFHTREE\18.0\5 #Uncomment the following line only when using Solaris #RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH = $RFHTREE/18.5.351/openvdb;& HOUDINI_PATH=$RFHTREE\18.05.351;& PATH=$RMANTREE\bin;& |
Finally an example on OS-X with 18.05, one would edit this in: /Users/myself/Library/Preferences/houdini/18.05/houdini.env:
| Code Block |
|---|
RMANTREE=/Applications/Pixar/RenderManProServer-23.35 RFHTREE=/Applications/Pixar/RenderManForHoudini-23.3 RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH=5 #Uncomment the following line only when using Solaris #RMAN_PROCEDURALPATH = $RFHTREE/18.5.0351/openvdb:& HOUDINI_PATH=$RFHTREE/18.5.0:&351:& |

If using a different version of Houdini than the above examples of 18.5.351, you would substitute the version used, such as 18.0.460 or 18.0.499 Note that any version of Houdini being used must be explicitly set using the entire version number, such as 17.5.460 instead of 17.5 |
