Arnold HtoA 1.11.2.for Houdini 15.5 Indie

[Vern]

Has anyone successfully installed Houdini indie 15.5 and then configured Arnold HtoA 1.11.2.

I am pretty sure there isn't an official release of htoa for 15.5.

You need to wait a bit.

Thanks Cristobal for reply. I will wait for the official release of htoa for 15.5.

Were you able to get it running? It's not working for me with the latest release supporting 15.5.480 including Indie.

That's a known issue with rendering to mplay or the IPR. An update should be available soon, but I don't have the exact ETA.
You should still be able to render frames to disk.

Thanks for reporting

Houdini FX 15.5.523 with htoa-1.12.1_r1781_houdini-15.5.523_windows works for me now.
