gramx Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi, I am having some difficulty exporting custom attributes in the correct format. Currently I am trying to export 3 attributes Cd(3fc), v(3fv), custom(3f) I am reading these in V-Ray for 3DS-Max. I can read v and Cd but not the custom attribute. I have had chaos group look at the alembic file and they are saying that they can't read the custom attribute because it is written as a scalar channel and not a vector channel. I am using a parameter node in a pointvop and have tried setting it to vector and color. The custom attribute reads as (3f) but Cd is (3fc) and v is (3fv). If the custom attribute is a color should it not also read as (3fc)??? Anyone got any ideas how to change the format of the custom attribute? Thanks Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonp Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The "setattribtypeinfo" VEX function should let you specify that your attribute is a vector: http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini14.0/vex/functions/setattribtypeinfo I believe the corresponding VOP is this one: http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini14.0/nodes/vop/setattrib -Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
