Arnold and steam version of Houdini on macOS compatibility issue

Ok, so I have asked this related question last time as well.


I was told that Arnold to Houdini works perfectly fine on macOS, and I've tried everything, all the builds available from 17.0 to 18.0 and all corresponding Arnold versions up to 5.2.1. They all don't work displaying same issue. I thought this could be my personal machine issue, so I tried this on my other MacBook Pro and it displays the same issue. I did a bug report to SideFX and they told me to hand it over to Solidangle, and when I asked here nobody could resolve this issue so I think it's not possible to use it.

My issue is whenever I hit render on Arnold ROP it displays this, aborting the entire render.


It seems like driver_houdini.dylib dynamic library file that is included with Arnold for Mac can not be installed properly in this case.


Some of you told me to try Arnold 5.2.1, yes I tried with it and it is still the same.

Now I can't think that this is just the compatibility issue with Arnold and steam version of Houdini on macOS.


If you can recommend any methods to resolve this issue, that would be greatly appreciated.


If you are planning to buy Steam version of Houdini, don't buy it. I wasted $249 worth of money which they don't work together.
