Oct. 13, 2019 9:56 p.m. So after working through a bunch of different form of updates from Nvidia graphic drivers to windows updates and what not, the solution was to uninstall an Audio driver/ program called Realtec (I uninstalled it from the control panel/programs). Now it works blissfully. SaqibJust take it one OP at a time and you will find inner peace.

Hello everyone,I'm happy to announce that we've managed to simplify the deployment process of V-Ray in Houdini by introducing a single installer package for both GUI and ZIP deployments.At the moment, the unified installer is available in the V-Ray for Houdini Nightlies Section, and we plan to make it available to everyone with the next official release.The changes were made to ensure that we can best support the rapid pace of development of Houdini by SideFX by prodiving continued support for all existing production builds in a single package. You will find a single, unified installer for every major Houdini release supported by V-Ray at the time of writing this forum post - Houdini 19.0, Houdini 19.5 and Houdini 20.0.The installer will currently look for the latest supported Houdini version (e.g. 20.0.506), and deploy V-Ray through the package system by adding a "vray_for_houdini.json" file under (e.g.) "C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 20.0.506\packages\vray_for_houdini.json".V-Ray itself will be installed under (e.g.) "C:\Program Files\Chaos Group\V-Ray\Houdini_20.0"If using a custom solution for deploying ZIP builds, you will need to do a couple of changes:- update the PYTHONPATH variable to point to the correct dso version for the Houdini production build number, e.g. "/vfh_home/dso_py{VERSION}/{HDK_VER}/python"- update the VFH_DSO_PATH variable to point to the correct dso version for the houdini production build numberAt the moment, the GUI Installer will attempt to deploy V-Ray for the latest supported Houdini production build, even if the Houdini build is not installed on your workstation. We are working to address this - in the meantime, please use the "Advanced" option during the GUI installation to select the proper package folder path for your Houdini production build.Best regards!

The SERVER code has changed on the machine. This will invalidate the SERVER license keystring. The SERVER keystring is needed to validate the machine to run Houdini licenses.Please see Reinstall the SERVER key to fix this issue. Why am I not able to connect to hserver for licence acquisition? This usually means that the client helper program, hserver, is not running.On Windows, verify that you have the service HoudiniServer listed in Services and that it has started. You can go to Services through Control Panel->Administrative Tools. If it's not listed, ensure that there is a program called hserver.exe located in C:\Windows\system32.On Linux, make sure that hserver is listed in the process list. If not, you can start it by typing hserver when you've sourced the Houdini environment.Houdini is using a Houdini License Server (sesinetd.exe) and a Houdini License Client (hserver.exe) to verify its licensing. Houdini uses

Member Join Date: Oct 2016 Posts: 57 As recently as last night, Vray 5 was working beautifully (latest production build) with Houdini (18.5.40 (running on Windows 10). Suddenly, this morning, it's as if it's not being seen by Houdini. Inside Houdini I get "invalid node type name" warnings if I try to create a Vray node. I can create an "object properties" tab on an object from the Vray shelf button, but none of the IPR, render, or any other buttons work.When I first load Houdini, the Houdini console gives me this:Warning: Bad operator type when binding handles: Object/VRayNodeSunLightWarning: Bad operator type when binding handles: Object/VRayNodeLightDirectWarning: Bad operator type when binding handles: Object/VRayNodeLightAmbientWarning: Bad operator type when binding handles: Object/VRayNodeLightOmniWarning: Bad operator type when binding handles: Object/VRayNodeLightSphereWarning: Bad operator type when binding handles: Object/VRayNodeLightSpotWarning: Bad operator type when binding handles: Object/VRayNodeLightRectangleWarning: Bad operator type when binding handles: Object/VRayNodeLightMeshWarning: Bad operator type when binding handles: Object/VRayNodeLightIESWarning: Bad operator type when binding handles: Object/VRayNodeLightDomeJust to make sure, I reinstalled Vray, restarted everything, and double-checked that my license is still active (which it very much is). There were no software installs/changes (Houdini or otherwise) between last night and today that might account for it. How can I get Vray working again?Thanks!

There's an issue with the .408 builds where the vray_for_houdini.json file from "C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 18.5.408\packages" needs to be copied to "C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\SideFX Labs" as well. Could you give that a shot ?I believe the fix from December 2nd addressed this issue: SideFX release a new production build, we will also update the V-Ray for Houdini builds to that. Until then, if also running SideFX Labs, you may need to do the 'fix' described above.Hope that helps! Likes 1 Comment Member Join Date: Oct 2016 Posts: 57 Thank you! I am clearly a dirty liar when I said there were no software changes--I had done a quick Labs update which didn't even register in my brain, and that apparently caused the problem. This fix did the trick! Likes 1 Comment QA Join Date: Aug 2017 Posts: 1302 Great to hear! Happy rendering Best regards! Comment Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2020 Posts: 1 I seem to have a similar problem. Once I upgraded to Houdini 18.5.408 build - Vray stopped working.To fix this I re-installed both Vray and Houdini without luck and followed the fix mentioned above by Gosho.GenchevNow I am trying to go back to Houdini 18.5.351 and install Vray for .351 however it gives me the following error when I try click Render from Vray tab:Traceback (most recent call last):File "", line 1, in File "C:/Users/Rahul/Documents/Vray Houdini 18.5.351/vfh_home/scripts/python\vfh\vfh_toolbar.py", line 17, in from vfh import vfh_ropFile "C:/Users/Rahul/Documents/Vray Houdini 18.5.351/vfh_home/scripts/python\vfh\vfh_rop.py", line 123print "V-Ray ROP "%s" is not found!" % ropPath^SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'.
