Tk-houdini engine for Houdini 20

Pipeline Integrations
21

Hi,
For me this PR works when used with Houdini 20.5.332 on Windows (py 3.11). I have not tested extensively, but the Houdini starts with the tk-houdini engine

However, when also loading HtoA htoa-6.3.4.0_r0d5c67f_houdini-20.5.332 I get a crash while launching Houdini :

Correction : Houdini 20.5.332 on Windows is crashing with the PR branch even without trying to load HtoA. I re-filed a bug report. This is becoming urgent for us
Regards

It crashed for me on Linux.
Still haven’t tested Windows. Gonna report back later.

Hi,

I have seen crashes in Houdini 20.5.332 Python 3.11 on Windows

I’m now testing a bit more and I uninstalled houdini to install the 20.5.332 Python 3.10 version

I did some light testing, but so far I had no crashes. I’m using the engine from branch ticket/SG-35936-support-for-houdini-20-5
HtoA is also working

(EDIT : Using tk-houdini v1.9.2 also works of course, no need for the special branch ticket/SG-35936-support-for-houdini-20-5 version for Houdini 20.5.332.Py3.10)

We tested with 20.5.368 (today’s nightly) and the mainline engine works!
