Render TOP appearing blank

Hello,

Following this great tutorial by Elburz from the Summit in February: youtube.com/watch?v=1QyFy6aJM4U

When I create my own version, the Render TOP is not displaying my scene. Instead it is just displaying the grayscale grid. When I downloaded Elburz’s file, it is doing the same thing. Can’t figure out why. Screenshot below and file attached.

Thank you!

Pretty sure this is due to the position of your camSchnappr as the Xform parameters are really far out. When you replace camSchnappr with a regular camera your render network works fine. Not sure how the camSchnappr got so far out, perhaps reset it and try that again, watching for when the position goes wonky.

The file you added is missing all the assets on your hard drive. A good tip for when sharing examples is to ‘lock’ the nodes with assets, in this case the fbx mesh SOP and the texture TOP and then save your file. This will ‘lock’ the data in those nodes with no need for external assets.
