i am in the stage in houdini and am trying to render out my scene with a USDrender rop node and every time i click to render to mplay
or render to disc it gives an error and says "command exit code 3" i did some digging and found out it might have something to do with licenses, i have the non commercial license for houdini, but i should still be able to render stuff as i did it before, i am rendering in 720p so there should not be any problems there, i tried reinstalling houdini to no avail, i gave the file to the project incase its necessary.

I think apprentice licenses have to renew monthly, are you able to render a cube or something in a test scene? If so it doesn't sound like licensing.

If I open the file as is and render to mplay it renders without errors an empty scene with the sky background (though there are some warnings in the log viewer.) If I turn off the layer save path you have set on the two geometry import nodes ($HIP/Documents/blender projects/Goofertons projects/houdini projects/rgwASRBRVS etc) then it renders with the snowman and wall. Do those directories exist on your system?

It turns out i just had to renew the license, i did not know i had to renew it monthly. Thanks
