AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of HoudinILauncher has been confirmed in the wild. To upgrade from the Intel version, visit SideFX's official download page and download the latest Houdini package for your platform — the installer will replace the Intel build with the native version. Alternatively, if you have Houdini already installed, you can use the built-in update mechanism within Houdini itself (Help → Check for Updates) to pull the latest native build. After installation, your existing launcher settings, version configurations and preferences will carry over automatically. You should see improved performance and battery life on M-series Macs compared to running under Rosetta.
