Not sure where I am going wrong but I thought the file could be saved within the project as
$Hip/../../test_LOGO/hip/
instead of
GProjects_vfx_houdini/test_LOGO/hip/
and a file rendered out as
$HIP/../../images/mytest
instead of
GProjects_vfx_houdini/test_LOGO/images/mytest
I just get warnings the file paths are incorrect. I had a look in the help and there does not seem to be any pointers on this.Any tips as to why I am getting it so wrong ?

What does $HIP evaluate to? Can you, from the textport, do an ‘uls <your_relative_path>’ and get something useful? While it “should” work (barring that you have write access into both .. and ../..), it is not a particularly clean way to do it, as someone who opens your file will now have to do the same figuring-out that you're going through. Instead, why not set a variable, e.g. $MYPROJ, set that to the test_LOGO directory, and make files relative from there?
