Hi all,

Whenever I try to render something this message pops up:
<b style='color: red;'>Unable to write to image: ip.jpg</b>

Does anybody know what I`m doing wrong?

Regards,

Sy

You image output is set to : ip
Which looks like its meant to open MPlay and show the output, works for me but I only get a black preview. I think this is due to the other issue of Karma dropping down to Non-commercial for me on Houdini Indie.

I noticed in the change logs for the next release (18.0.303) it will be fixed, with any luck it'll fix your issue too.

The black preview to mplay issue is due to a problem with sending aov's to mplay. Disable all the image planes other than ‘beauty’ and it should work.

The OP's issue is because the output directory doesn't exist.

Sorry, I missed your answers!
Thank you jsmack for the info!!
