I have to install the HOU Engine for 3dsmax and MAX 2021 itself. Necessary for a customer file with Thinking Particles.
I already have 18.0.532 installed and the plugins are installed in the intended path. But for Max there is just one plugin, no scripts and nothing anything else. Also work with Maya and there are menus for the engine in it. If I choose to install the Engine plugins during installation of houdini and do not choose to install for 3dsmax explicitly are the files for Max nevertheless installed or just this one said plugin for MAX? I'm not sure if the Houinstaller asked for each application at all? Of course I could install Houdini again but I'm not sure that all my settings retained? Are they? Just installing the Engine plugins isnt possible in the installer.
So:
Are my settings retained in case that I reinstall Houdini?
Is there a way to download the actual (Github: updated on 31 Oct 2018 ) Houdini Engine plugins? Are they still in development?
How to configure 3dsmax manually? Already gave the plugin path for the engine plugin in it, its loaded but no Menüs or other.
Thanks in advance and a good day ^^
