Hi,
I'm on Windows 7 with Houdini 18.5.351 with Octane 20.1.5.3.
Trying to render a sequence and only single file being written and overwritted.
This is my Image file path/prefix:$HIP/render/$OCTANE_PASS.$F
Any clue?
Thanks.
$F variable not recognized?

Had this problem when rendering png sequences. Adding the extension (.png, .exr) fixes this problem.
"Do not use a hyphen to separate the frame number from the name (for example frame-$F.pic). MPlay will interpret the resulting filenames (frame-1.pic, frame-2.pic, frame-3.pic, and so on) as containing negative frame numbers (-1, -2, -3, …)."
Houdini doesn't play well with hyphens. This is from their documentation:juanjgon wrote:Can you please try with $HIP/render/$OCTANE_PASS-$F to check if it helps? I've seen problems before while using "." and "_" between variables.
