I'm going to press P to bring up its parameters. In our previous videos in this course we've looked at the file cache node, which is a way we can do this within the SOPs context but now you can see we can also have nodes set up in the output context to render out geometry. And so what we could do here for example is we can have a path to SOPs, so let's say just our two objects in the center of this scene, let's say okay. I want to grab those objects and I want to write them out as a bgeo file from here. So what I could do, just like we've been doing it here, I'm going to call these OBJECTS, right, and so I'm going to set my output file path.
