So I'm trying to render out a simple image in Houdini using 3Delight. I have put in my geometry as an alembic, given it a simple material which is just a colour. I've created an environment light with a HDRI and a new camera all of which show up on the geometry in the viewport with its material on it.


However when I press render, what shows up is the HDRI in the background yet the object are pitch black as if there was no light on them at all.
I thought it might be my object so I put the pig head in there and added in an area light to see if that made any difference which it did not.




please could someone kindly tell me how I can fix this issue? I am new to Houdini and all I want is a simple image of my object.
