Hello, Go Procedural tutorial, “Quick Start” say to drop down a ROP output driver node and output BGOE files. However, the node errors as I have a non-commercial licence. Have I mis-understood the instruction or is the instruction not suitable for beginners who i expect like me will be using non-commercial licences in the majority of instance?

Thanks

MMB on the node and please advise what the error is. Could it be your resolution size , incorrect path for your output file ? .

The noncommerial and limited commercial versions have a different file suffix .bgeo.sc for noncommercial. you might need to edit that in the rop.

Clarification.

Actually, bgeo.sc is compressed .bgeo file (using BLOSC compression). These are often as fast (or faster) to read/write than plain .bgeo files, and take less disk space.

I don't believe that Apprentice encodes .bgeo files.

Ah ok, have only seen the .sc in apprentice. I had a similar problem in a tutorial, where I was writing out bgeo.sc files but a fetchnode somewhere was looking for .bgeo I think it was Ocean wavetank tutorial.

Edit: I checked, it was the texturemap export from the wave tank. Apprentice exports picnc (hence the confusion). The fetchnode looks for .pic. So maybe not the solution for the original question
