Mesh with Vertex Attribute from Houdini to Modo question

[MagnusL3D]

Hello

 

I am exporting a Mesh from Houdini as a FBX so my Color "Cd" vertex attribute will show up in Modo.

 

But for some reason I can't use that Color RGBA vertex-map as a layer mask (not even with Modo's own Color vertexmaps).

 

So I am wondering if anyone know how to export any other type of Vertex Attribute from Houdini to Modo that will show up as ..say..weightmap or similar ?

That's very interesting , I'd like to know also.

Well I found a workaround, in Modo under the "Vertex Map" menu there is a "Math.." option, and with the popup dialogue you can transfer data from one vertexmap format to another.

 

So by transfering the RGBA Vertexmap (which was just black and white anyway) to a WeightMap I can use the WeightMap as a layer mask. 

 

But it would still be interesting to know if you from Houdini can outbut more thant Cd and uv through FBX to Modo as vertexmaps.
