I've had this render going for four hours. I set it up, left the house to meet with some people while the computer should render.
Came back home, not a single frame has been stored in the folder.

There is PLENTY of space left on the hard drive.
The path is set up correct in the Kernel > Animation tab (I copied the path, and pasted it in a Windows Explorer window to verify)
I looked for places in Modo or Octane that could have a log on where things could be stored, but I couldn't find any log for this.

I'm puzzled to say the least.


To test I made a new folder, checked the path exists, hit the Render animation button, and let it render a couple of frames. The folder is EMPTY.



I tested saving a file to the folder from Photoshop. That worked, so I figured it's not a thing about rights or ownership to the folder.

I made a folder on the desktop, the rendered frames were stored in the folder. This leaves me even MORE puzzled...


A warning, saying the rendered frame has NOT been saved to a file would be very handy......

Did you use the Browse button to select the Animation Output Folder? Can you pls a screenshot of the Kernel->Animation panel pls?

Thanks

Yes, I clicked the browse button under the file path to select which folder to save the rendered images. I'll upload a screenshot when I get back from work.
