Script .cmd file error "Source Failed, <path> doe March 22, 2011, 3:49 p.m.
Hey guys
Ive been working for the last couple of days on blowing the top half of a car off in houdini for a shot im working on. Im still not getting the exact look i want with the fire, but ill figure that out thursday in class. Heres my real problem:
I have a tracked scene in syntheyes 2008.
I need to bring it in so i can track the car to the area i want it. I went into syntheyes, exported my track as a Houdini Script, and then opened houdini to run the .cmd file. Problem is, no matter WHERE i put this script on my computer (including in the $HIP directory) I get the dreaded error sound. It says:
Error:
Source failed, <path> does not exist.
No matter where i put it. i have 3 drives running. Ones a portable (K) Ones a partition (S) and ones my C drive. ive placed the file on the S drive, on the K drive in the $HIP directory, and on my desktop ina folder, and every time i get this error.
I really need to get this done and rendering so i can composite… its due very soon.
Ive attached the script in case anyone wants to mess with it.

Ahh i see. Well youll be happy to know that with some finessing, the Veronoi fracture plan worked, and i now have a car with the top being blown off. Now to learn pyro fx to make the explosion/flames/smokes… *sigh* lol.
Thanks again for your help!

Hey thanks a lot for the help!
I just have one question:
Just so that i understand what I am doing and can apply it to other projects - in your expression: $CR>=0.2 I know (at least i think) that the $CR part of it is for color red to get the R of RGB, however i dont know what the >=0.2 Is doing in the expression, could you explain?
