I'm on Houdini 18.0.460 Indie and I'm trying out the labs game stuff. I'm in the demo scene for vertex animation textures and the VAT ROP doesn't seem to work. I just get his error:

Error rendering child: /out/soft_unity/render_mesh_fbx

My toolset release is set to 494, but I was also getting this error with 460. I'm using this file specifically: https://github.com/sideeffects/SideFXLabs/blob/Development/hip/vertex_animation_textures_demoscene.hip [github.com]

Any ideas? Thanks!

Are you sure you're using Indie and it's not loading a non-commercial license? That error generally appears when trying to export an fbx with an apprentice license.

Hello mikelyndon-sesi,
Do you mean that Houdini GAME DEVELOPMENT TOOLSET is only available for Indie version ? I'm trying to experiment with VAT but I'm getting a similar error message as Borbs27

I actually have the same issue, this only happens when i export Rigid body tho.
I know this is an old post and sorry for resurrecting this but im going a bit crazy debugging this.
Did you find a fix for this ?
