This video needs update. I just installed US5 and the UI doesn't seem to have the shelves anymore. I assume there is a way to bring them up or alternative path, but it's not obvious.
I'm trying to get this going on 18.0.391, I get an "installation succesful" message that asks me to "restart Houdini to load all the new tools" and on restart no new icons in the shelf, no "Labs" category in TAB, no GEO ops either. The path for the package is loaded in $PATH. Using W10
I had the same problem. In my case there was something in my Houdini.env that was causing a conflict. When I used the default Houdini.env it worked perfectly. I then put the conflicting plugin (Arnold) into a package and it all works fine.
Manual installation gives me the error: = = = Houdini Package log = = = Processing 'C:/Users/ah/Documents/houdini18.0/packages/SideFXLabs.json' ERROR: Unsupported setting 'version' Does anyone know what this is about?
I had the exact same question, on the Houdini site they responded with the following... "You only need Labs in 18 and onward. Labs contains all GameDev tools and more."
updating on my 18.5 build broke my version in 18.0 and now actually both throw errors and dont work. unable to choose lower version after removal and attempting to reinstall. a previously working alicevision plugin is no longer working for me.
After migrating to H18, on start I'm getting this message: opalias: The alias 'gamedev::vertical_point_index::1.0' has the same name as an existing operator. opalias: The alias 'gamedev::sop_mark_seams' has the same name as an existing operator. opalias: The alias 'gamedev::sop_uv_stack' has the same name as an existing operator. Does someone know how to get rid of it?
Are houdini game tools free now? What about houdini engine? Does it work with student version? If I build something on student version can I use simple baker without watermark? And then take th digital asset into the game engine? Like a node procedural model? For free?
terrible install methods.. automatic doesnt work. Env edits is a pain and corrupts stuff sometimes. Please make something simpler im sure you guys can do it! come on guys. tried every methods... wasted hours on something that should be sooo simple. very frustrating process .. and still not working, im sure plenty of others have the same issues.
solution is to use this format with redshift octane etc - PATH = "$PATH;C:/ProgramData/Redshift/bin;&" :::: HOUDINI_PATH = "$HOUDINI_PATH;C:/ProgramData/Redshift/Plugins/Houdini/18.0.597;&" :::::: just found this on the forums and it cured everything
I bought the app from steam and I can't see it in any way, including the houdini launcher. When I run the application and go to the Sidefx Labs shelf and click on the Update tool set, the version and file path information does not appear. I also applied the guidance in the guide, I did not install the labs in the 19.5 version. You need to update this video. Because the method doesn't work anymore and why do I have to do all this again with every update?
could be a bug w redshift or octane, use this method of writing them in the env then uninstall and reinstall the labs using the shelf :::::::::::::: solution is to use this format with redshift octane etc - PATH = "$PATH;C:/ProgramData/Redshift/bin;&" :::: HOUDINI_PATH = "$HOUDINI_PATH;C:/ProgramData/Redshift/Plugins/Houdini/18.0.597;&" :::::: just found this on the forums and it cured everything

@@brianfoley2241 Exactly the same problem and solution here. Thanks so much!
@@brianfoley2241 That worked. Thanks a lot..
Unfortunately outdated information
tried installing using both the auto and manual guides Both do NOT work ???
same, i tried to post on the forums but they blocked my post about it
ended up using @BrianFoley's advice (below) and deleting everything from my env file and it finally showed up, now adding things back one by one
Manual installation gives me the error:
= = = Houdini Package log = = =
Processing 'C:/Users/ah/Documents/houdini18.0/packages/SideFXLabs.json'
ERROR: Unsupported setting 'version'
Does anyone know what this is about?
turned out it was because of Redshift. Hazem Sabry posted the solution here: www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/74217/?page=1#post-315085

Same, did you find a solution
@@akshayladdha9015 I need to know too
I don't even have a bin folder in my sidefx installation folder. Whats up?
True there is no Bin folder, did you managed to worked around?
Finally Its working, I have removed all the ENV variables like @BrainFoley's advice.
I'm not sure to understand, did you split Game Dev tools or just renamed the whole thing as SideFX Labs?
I had the exact same question, on the Houdini site they responded with the following... "You only need Labs in 18 and onward. Labs contains all GameDev tools and more."
Create The Imaginable thanks!
Renamed

What about houdini engine?
Does it work with student version?
If I build something on student version can I use simple baker without watermark? And then take th digital asset into the game engine?
Like a node procedural model? For free?
Game dev tools were always free, the first version was released a few years ago.
With Houdini Indie, you have access to the Engine I think.
Thank you!
Thanks very helpful!
