Houdini FX how to render out correctly?

[ISUther]

Hello,

I have a problem here.
I started to render out but system rendered out last frame.
And i have selected "Render Frame Range"
I have dropped down also mantra node.
Here is my render settings view.
Can anyone help me out?

you're overwriting the same picture at the end of each frame rendered. So only the last one is actually saved.

Choose a format and add an instruction so each frame is saved on its own file.

Example of a sequence of exr with a 4 digit number per frame

$HIP/egg_render/egg.$F4.exr

if you middle click on Output Picture, it'll show you the result and replace both $HIP and $F4 by their values.

More explanations in the Images section here http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/out/ifd

first, dont use spaces in your filenames ever. go with Egg_render.

second, your ROP rendered all images into the same file, each overwriting the image from before. This is why you only have one file with the last frame in it. You have to use $F after "Egg", like Egg_$F.
this will give you one file for each frame. if you want padding, use something like $F4 (Egg_$F4)

third, dont forget the extension!! Egg_$F4.exr, Egg_$F4.jpg. whatever you want

Thank you. I will test it out now. Made noobish mistake. SYstem rendered 36 hours and was overloaded. Could  not do anything else on that pc that time
Nd now i discovered that i have only 1 file (last frame).
My own mistake
Have to get new PC or update this one so one will be rendering PC and another where i do my houdini stuff
