I add a colour map to a material using the file browser.

However, when it comes to rendering, I get a “Can't find <TEXTURE PATH> error”. It looks like the whole file path is in quotes, and part of it is in DOS8.3 format, and part of it is in long format.

Can anyone suggest what might be going wrong?

Thanks
Richard

I'm not sure about the mixed nomenclatures, but one thing to check for is environment variables. There are still a couple of ‘gotcha’ issues with the file browser where it tries to substitute an existing one with $HIP(which means ‘where I started Houdini this session’). This would break it should you happen to start the hip file from another location.

Cheers,
