    Good evening, I'm taking class 1 and I'm having a problem with the ocean's digital file. 1st I use Houdini 20.0.751 and in the documents folder there is no otls folder, I found it in the path "C:\Users\Luciano\Documents\houdini20.0\asset_store\otls" I put the files in the folder but Houdini did not read the files. Then I found the way "C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 20.0.751\houdini\otls" I pasted the two files into the folder and Houdini read an ocean HDA but it gives an error in the NODE. I use the apprentice version of HOUDINI, I don't know if this is why I can't use HDA correctly. Boa Noite estou fazendo a aula 1 e estou tendo um problema com o arquivo digital do oceano. 1º Uso o Houdini 20.0.751 e na pasta documentos não tem a pasta otls, achei no caminho "C:\Users\Luciano\Documents\houdini20.0\asset_store\otls" coloquei os arquivos na pasta mas o houdini não leu os arquivos. 2º Em seguida achei o caminho "C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 20.0.751\houdini\otls" colei os dosi arquivos na pasta e o houdini leu um HDA de oceano porem ele da um erro no NODE. Eu uso a versão aprendiz do HOUDINI não sei se é por isto que não consigo usar o HDA corretamente. Att Luciano Machado
