Houdini to Unreal: HDA Setup and Workflow

[@hendasheng]

This has resolved most of my questions about transferring HDA to UE. Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you for the brief introduction to those workflows. HDA is huge power and I am following the progress of houdini tools to unreal since project TITAN and the guys there explaining this methods via procedural buildings and the use of USD alongside HDA in UE. There is a long way of gamedev to walk however in order to provide the users with more stability and versatility when building up tools for UE. Ease of use fast integration is what we need alongside with what Blender Foundation might offer to the table but once done I thing the boundaries between VFX and gamedev will fall alowwing of people from different circles to work more fluently and collaborate with each other more efficiently.

Hi, you probably figured it out by now but in my experience it shows the Houdini logo when you have an empty input that generates your asset. For example you may have a setup that requires a curve to generate lets say a wall. With the input empty it only shows the houdini logo.
