I’m about to install the Houdini Engine plugins in UE4.26 but I’m having a problem after doing the instruction, I can’t make it to work I tried everything

  1. Download the pre-built binaries of the plugin in the “Releases” section of this repository.

  2. Extract the “HoudiniEngine” folder in the release to the “Plugins/Runtime” folder of Unreal. You can install the plugin either directly in the engine folder (in “Engine/Plugins/Runtime/HoudiniEngine”) or in your project folder (in “Plugins/Runtime/HoudiniEngine”).

  3. Start Unreal Engine, open the Plug-ins menu and make sure to enable the HoudiniEngine v2 plug-in (in the Rendering section). Restart UE4 if you had to enable it.

this is the instruction but I don’t know what is the “Releases” and what is needed I’m really lost, I tried posting this into the houdini forum, discord, facebook group, 10k, but I haven’t heard/read any information I hope I can find one here. thank you.

Same issue here guys.

Trying to install 4.26 houdini engine for UE4 from github (houdini18.5-4.26 binary build) following these instructions from the github installation:

***Installing the plugin
Download the pre-built binaries of the plugin in the “Releases” section of this repository.

Extract the “HoudiniEngine” folder in the release to the “Plugins/Runtime” folder of Unreal.
You can install the plugin either directly in the engine folder (in “Engine/Plugins/Runtime/HoudiniEngine”) or in your project folder (in “Plugins/Runtime/HoudiniEngine”).

Start Unreal Engine, open the Plug-ins menu and make sure to enable the HoudiniEngine v2 plug-in (in the Rendering section). Restart UE4 if you had to enable it***

…and gettting the following error when launching UE 4.26:

yes just update on the latest build and your good to go, go to their website and update your houdini then everything is going to be fine.

Yep latest build for Houdini (not production build but daily build) has fixed it. In the Houdini install copy & paste the 4.26-v2 folder from the engine folder of Houdini to the unreal engine plugins/runtime directory and it works.
