18 Comments
(Updated) Stig Atle Steffensen has notified us that a new build is up. It fixes x64 issues, a memory leak and brings Max 2009 compatibility. A 2008 build is now also available.
At the request of Stig Atle Steffensen, Guillaume Plourde has generously ported the Houdini Ocean Toolkit, designed for creating deep ocean waves, to 3DS Max. The plugin is open source and available for free. Check out some sample videos (video 1-video 2) and find out more at Guillaume Plourde's site. Source code and plugin available for download.

Good stuff.
But – I think the 64-bit build is actually the 32-bit, it’s reporting an error when loading on 64-bit Max 2010 and 2011.
Cheers

Hmm – tried both versions on multiple 32 and 64 bit versions of Max with no luck – anyone else got this to work OK?

failed to initialize….sad~

Even after the so-called fix, still does NOT work, and continues to report the SAME error on max startup (and then max crashes).
Would love to use this – but please test properly before releasing to the wide world !
And how exactly does one report an error on your site? I can’t figure this out. Make it easy for people to do this.

I have also been unable to get this working on Max 2010 or 2011.
I would love to be able to use it! :)

New build is up.
fixes these x64 issues, also memory leak
by Jaime N - March 17, 2011 8:30 am
it does work fine. I think whats confusing people is they are not making a plane first then using the Houdini_Ocean modifier to apply it. As before the plugin was accessed via the standard primitives gui.
Very good plugin btw

Just to correct :
Hot4max has always been a modifier that you apply.
There was problems with earlier versions due to SDK mixup under compile. this caused problems with x64 version.
