Houdini Steam & Unity3D broken.
Really dissapointed the workflow for Unity3D is broken in the Steam Version. It's impossible to to connect to a Running session of Houdini. Will be getting a refund and purchasing from SideFX.

The bug is that the wrong Houdini executable name is being used in the Steam version to launch Houdini. As a temporary workaround, please open the HoudiniEngine Plugin Settings (in Unity menu > HoudiniEngine > Plugin Settings). For the `Houdini Debug Executable` field under the GENERAL section, please replace `houdini` at the end with `hindie.steam.exe`.

Note that Steam doesn't allow to run both the plugin and Houdini at the same time. So you'll to close the Houdini Engine session (in Unity menu > HoudiniEngine > Session > Close all sessions), then launch Houdini via HoudiniEngine > Debug > Open Scene in Houdini).

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the reply. It was a very frustrating couple of days. I managed to get a refund from STEAM and buy direct from SideFX, much better.
