Known Issues

ASSH = AssetHandler

  • Mantra auto. shader template is just a basic implementation — Solve: Make your own auto. shader or modify the current HDA
  • Background thumbnails wont be deleted (Network View) with deleting of the corrosponding node — except: a node which is created and deleted in a single Houdini Session will throw a “DeleteEvent” and will be proper deleted. After restart, the events are not present anymore. Demon thumbnails are deletable in NetworkView > Edit Background Images or “CNTRL + I”
  • “Qt Warn: libpng warning: iCCP: profile..” — color profile of your computer OS differs with loaded images. Appears when loading thumbnails. can be ignored.
  • Mixing .hda, .hdalc or .hdanc can causes issues.
  • [LINUX MINT CINNAMON 19.x] Drag & Dropping assets feels laggy — use: Right-Click > “Add”. (Versions >= 20.x are fine)
  • [LINUX] “Open Location” drops sometimes a failure which is Linux/Python/OS related. Mostly pops this up with Network-Storage and how they are mounted. Sometimes it helps if you where always with the OS file manager in the library/mounted drive before.
  • [LINUX] ASSH location on network mounts (CIFS) can causes issues to find the OpenCV libray. In cases of a failure just copy the python2.7libs or/and python3.7libs or/and python3.9libs to your local houdini user folder.
  • HOU 19.0.445 crashes if you add assets to AH (HDA/Proxy). There is a bug in the python function for flipbooks (thumbnail generation) that leads in a immediately crash. They fixed it in the current Daily-Build HOU 19.0.471+
  • OpenCV for Python 3.9 disabled the exr codec by default. That leads in parsing failure for .exr images. Add the “OPENCV_IO_ENABLE_OPENEXR”: 1 to the package .json should fix that issue.
  • Megascans and Aixterior throws a failure while scaning/parsing— solve: dont rename any files or top folder you loaded from Aixterior or Quixel. This tool dont search recursive through the folder. Use instead Additional Libraries for the different types or link the Quixel Bridge. LOOK HERE: Docs
  • Mixing Linux/Windows Assets & Pathes can causes problems, because i am obviously dumb and not able to implement a robust path mapping system.
  • Not all nodes are stored as PythonCode — Solve: In case you want to store data or changes in locked nodes (build-in tools, HDA`s, Solver, etc.), just unlock them and added to the CodeHandler or ASSH.
