Houdini shader .hdas missing parms and context

[kubo-von]

Hello,
I've followed the official build tutorial, successfully built Moonray for Houdini 20 and 20.5 on MacOS. I can select it in Solaris viewport and render with it. But the moonray/Dwa shaders in Mat/materialbuilder have no parms and when assigned they render purple.

I've searched discussions here and found that this is known problem and can be fixed by replacing the otls folder with the one from moonray_dcc_plugins-1.0.0.0 release.

If I do this, the parms show up, but I still need to manually edit the .hdas so that they can be created inside mtlxmaterial context, otherwise they show up only in Mat/materialbuilder context, and need to be copied from there to mtlx. After that the shaders work as expected.

Is this a problem for everyone building for Houdini ?
Is this something that can be fixed for the hdas in current release? I'd be happy to help!

Thanks in advance!

We are aware of this issue and hoping to be able to provide updated HDAs in an upcoming release.
