Houdini cannot find project

#1 · 22. July 2020, 6:51

I am brand new to Prism (love it), and I have been having some problems with creating a Houdini scene in Houdini 18 (have not tried other versions). I first try to create a Houdini render scene, and I get this error (error1 png), even though the project does exist. I press okay and I get this (error2 png). Once I hit okay to that, Houdini opens up along with the Project Browser (error3 png). However once open, I cannot find the Prism shelf (error4 png). Is there something that I am doing wrong? Maya seemed to work fine. I do have an older version of Renderman installed, as well as Redshift and Renderman 23, could those be causing issues?

Hello @tielax11,

I had the same issue, it seems to be a bug that will be fixed in the future, a simple work around is this :

Don't open Houdini scene through Windows Prism, but first open a vanilla Houdini and open a scene through Houdini's Prism (you can read my post here : https://prism-pipeline.com/forum/topic/project-not-found-could-not-initialize-the-project-browser/#postid-1698
No idea for your shelf though 😐

Have a good day 🙂
