Hey guys

Ive been working for the last couple of days on blowing the top half of a car off in houdini for a shot im working on. Im still not getting the exact look i want with the fire, but ill figure that out thursday in class. Heres my real problem:

I have a tracked scene in syntheyes 2008.

I need to bring it in so i can track the car to the area i want it. I went into syntheyes, exported my track as a Houdini Script, and then opened houdini to run the .cmd file. Problem is, no matter WHERE i put this script on my computer (including in the $HIP directory) I get the dreaded error sound. It says:

Error:

Source failed, <path> does not exist.

No matter where i put it. i have 3 drives running. Ones a portable (K) Ones a partition (S) and ones my C drive. ive placed the file on the S drive, on the K drive in the $HIP directory, and on my desktop ina folder, and every time i get this error.

I really need to get this done and rendering so i can composite… its due very soon.

Ive attached the script in case anyone wants to mess with it.

Do you have spaces in either the path or the file name? Hscript is not fond of empty spaces…
