Trying to follow the manual:

Houdini v. 15.5.480

Create a geometry object in the shape you want to convert to particles.

Select the geometry object.

On the Particle Fluids shelf tab, click FLIP Fluid.


Create Geometry:

In this case just a sphere. Particles show up fine.

When I go to the render view and try to render it I get:

Error saving geometry for:…followed by the sphere path. and I don't see anything.

Same thing happens if I add a flip tank. Pretty much any time I try to import or create and object and add fluid I get this error.

Strangely even if there is another object in the scene that has no fluids, it does not render either. And the render view just gets stuck and wont render anything, stays at 0%

Obviously there are other steps involved.

Any help appreciated.
