When exporting, no files being saved to disk, though Houdini says it did. [solved] Jan. 12, 2017, 12:12 p.m.

arctor
in the Output Picture, are you giving the file name an extension > "mixing fluids render.jpg" ?

also - DO NOT use spaces in your file paths/names…it might work but it WILL cause you problems.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for the reply.

I needed to add $F and .jpg. Coming from C4D and other applications where those things are done automatically makes it confusing sometimes.

When exporting, no files being saved to disk, though Houdini says it did. [solved] Jan. 12, 2017, 5:46 a.m.

I recently started working with Houdini, and have not yet been able to create any image files, though rendering seems to work fine. I added some screenshots (H1, H2, H3) as attachments to explain.

H1: I have set up a ropnet with these settings. If I press “Render to Disk”, no files are created.

H2: The folder I'm rendering to looks like this afterwards. No jpegs, just those two files.

H3: I tried rendering to MPlay first, and then exporting from there. Afterwards, it says it created the files, but the folder is still the same as H2.

What am I doing wrong?
