Houdini livelink, export from bridge error

Completed
Follow

Hi!

I'm having an issue with the export from bridge to houdini, when I'm trying to import an object I get this message. It seems that the path is wrong, because when I dive in to the node and manually select the asset in the file node it works. 

My houdini env file looks like this

HOUDINI_PATH = "$MOPS;C:/ProgramData/Redshift/Plugins/Houdini/17.5.293;&" HOUDINI_PATH = "${HOUDINI_PATH};C:/MSLiveLink;&"

Thanks!

    Hi Elias,

    • Is your MSLiveLInk in C:/MSLiveLink? I found this a little strange and I would not recommend it personally. The MSLink can be anywhere as long as you link the path in the .env file line.
    • Did you make sure that the small floating window remained active while exporting from the Bridge application? You will also need both Bridge and Houdini to be opened. 
    • Which Renderer are you using? (I see Redshift but any additional information could help!)

    Any more information on your workflow? Such as: reproduction steps or a video.

    We are looking at your log file lines and will get back to you ASAP.

    Thank you for your report.

    Best,
    Jin

    Hi, quick update, I noticed I forgot to mention a dot. Knowing which asset exactly could be helpful. Also, was this the first time you are getting this error?

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Jin.

    Hi Jin, thanks for your reply! I fixed this by changing the location of my megascans folder. I think it was a problem that I had it located under "User/Elias Klingén". It couldn't read the space and the "é" character. Now it works perfectly haha.

    Hello JIn, 

     

    I am currently facing the same issue. 

    I have a file set up on my D:/ drive and I have Houdini and Bridge installed on the C:/ drive. 

    I tried changing the location from a file called D:\00_SCANS\MSLibrary to D:\SCAN and it still doesnt work.

    It previously worked ok, I am using Houdini redshift. 

    I tried uninstalling bridge and installing it again but the issue is still there. Maybe I could deleted everything related to bridge from houdini as well but I am not sure it is going to work. 

     

    Thanks for your help !
