Pavel Geraskin made the applink addon that links 3DCoat with Houdini.
It’s possible to export-import meshes and export textures from 3DCoat. Very useful for modeling and texturing artists.
The download file it’s at Orbolt.

– Set the Exchange folder before exporting/importing:
On linux it’s at ‘home/user/3DCoatVersion/Exchange’.
On Windows it’s somewhere at user documents. 3DCoat creates such a folder itself.
– Tested on Linux. If you have any issues on Windows then write him.
Video test of export/import of meshes and textures:
Applink download set at Orbolt.
Houdini latest versions uses relative paths by default.
Just make Absolute path for the node you want to export. Like this example:
