error with Arnold in Houdini

[samurailish]

hey there I just updated Houdini and Arnold to that latest version and now I get some wired error when I'm trying to use any node in that start I thought it's a python error but I'm in the right version so if someone knows how I can fix it be nice.

Thanks

This kind of thing is almost always an environment problem.

1)

What's your houdini.env look like? (Or, if you use packages, check the json file.)

You want something like this (PATH is for Windows only):

# htoa config start
PATH = "$PATH;C:/solidangle/htoa/htoa-5.6.0.0_r370661f_houdini-18.0.597/htoa-5.6.0.0_r370661f_houdini-${HOUDINI_VERSION}/scripts/bin"
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/solidangle/htoa/htoa-5.6.0.0_r370661f_houdini-18.0.597/htoa-5.6.0.0_r370661f_houdini-${HOUDINI_VERSION};&"
# htoa config end

2)

Check Help > About Houdini > Show Details

You want to see the HtoA location at the start of HOUDINI_PATH

3)

If you have other renderers and plugins, I would remove all other plugins from HOUDINI_PATH, get HtoA working, and then put the other stuff back.

i have no idea because its all right this is my env:

PATH = "$PATH;C:\Users\extra\htoa\htoa-5.6.0.2_rbd4662c_houdini-18.5.499\htoa-5.6.0.2_rbd4662c_houdini-18.5.499\scripts\bin"

HOUDINI_PATH = "$HOUDINI_PATH;C:\Users\extra\htoa\htoa-5.6.0.2_rbd4662c_houdini-18.5.499\htoa-5.6.0.2_rbd4662c_houdini-18.5.499;&"

2. its alright too

3. I don't have another render engine

Hi
First replace "\" wit "/"
Here is the correct houdini.env file just copy/past.
PATH = "$PATH;C:/Users/extra/htoa/htoa-5.6.0.2_rbd4662c_houdini--${HOUDINI_VERSION}/scripts/bin"
HOUDINI_PATH = "C:/Users/extra/htoa/htoa-5.6.0.2_rbd4662c_houdini--${HOUDINI_VERSION};&"
