Hello,

I've been attempting to render out a few frames of a flip fluid simulation onto a plane using a sop_simple_baker from the game development toolset. It used to work but all of a sudden i keep getting an error. I've checked forums and followed all the suggested answers such as changing the file type to a .rat and none of them have worked. I'm using Houdini education 16.5 and 17 and both versions have the same problem. The tutorial that I was following was the VAT paintsplat by Andreas Glad in the decal section(link: https://vimeo.com/266717949). I have no idea what may be causing this but one guess is that i'm running Houdini through my University VPN apps service, but this was never a problem before… Any solution or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
