V-Ray for Houdini V-Ray for Houdini :: Issues

Hi,

I get a script error when trying to Render anything with V-RAY in Houdini 18.5.462 on MAC:

I am using:
vray_adv_50050_houdini18.5.462_71834d6_10350_mac.zip

No module named _vfh_ipr

Traceback (most recent call last):

Is your Houdini a python3 build? Python 3 builds are not yet supported.

Hi,
no, it’s a 2.7 Build. I’ve attached my Houdini_info.txt
Tested it with todays nightly build - same problem.

Regards,

Helge

Hello,

any news on that? The nighties still crashing on my machine with 18.5.462.

Thanks,

Helge

Just tried build 10509 and seems to work. But will talk with dev if they can find the problem from your last post.

Loaded today build vray_adv_50050_houdini18.5.462_10534 and it works like expected.
Before that I deleted my preferences.

Don’t know, what exactly was the problem, but now it’s gone.

Thanks Georgy and sorry, if it was only on my side.
