So for whatever reason the File output node doesn't work for me, doesn't matter if i do render image or render animation I've double checked that the output folder actually exists, but nothing happens. Am I missing something obvious?

  • $\begingroup$ @Bruno I've tried both version of slashes, I also tried browsing into the folder using the gui with no luck. as far as I'm aware there is no special permission on this folder and I also tried to change it to a folder that takes the rendering output using the regular way. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Do you have multiple render layers and this one might not be included? $\endgroup$

Ok so I figured out what was wrong, the compositing in post processing was disabled so I just had to tick the box to enable it.

  • $\begingroup$ quote form blender doc: "Unlike the render output filepath, this node uses a base directory and an image name, by default the output path is composed of: {base path}/{file name}{frame number}.{extension}." $\endgroup$
