Hi @diverge Please, share screenshots from the following pages: Chaos Cosmos and Local Host License
Let me know what version of V-Ray and Houdini you are using.
You can do this here or via a ticket, as you prefer.
vray7.20.10_houdini21.0_mac_arm64_install.zip > vray7.20.10_houdini21.0.dmg
Houdini 21.0.512
Anything specific? The Cosmos and Licensing websites open. Online Licensing is green. 6.3.0
Are you able to use the Cosmos Browser? To import and download assets from there?
Are you able to see the cosmos materials there?
Are there any error messages?

I can only download the 3D models on macOS. Materials are not displayed at all. Exporting does not work on macOS.
Are you able to see the cosmos materials there?
localhost YES. Cosmos Browser in Houdini NO
Are there any error messages?
error importing asset The selected importer was not found
Hi @diverge What do you mean " Exporting does not work " ?
Also, I want to confirm that Materials are not available in the Cosmos Browser as well: LINK
Note, that I have tested the latest Cosmos Browser 2026.03.04-641363 and it works as expected on my side which would mean it’s a local issue.
Please, make sure you have the same build installed. If not, you can install it from here: LINK
Before installing it, please make sure to uninstall the previous build from here: /Applications/Chaos/Cosmos/uninstall/Uninstall
Hi diverge What do you mean " Exporting does not work " ?
Okay. With the Chaos Cosmos Build: 2026.03.04-641363, I can export and render materials and 3D models in Houdini.
