bonassus Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Is it posable to transfer the @Cd attribute to geometry with the instance sop? With the copy sop you can Use "Template Point Attributes". The instance sop has no such option. The instance object picks up a @psclale attrib but not a @Cd attrib? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepu Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 you can use attribute transfer or attribute copy @Cd. Where is your @Cd in what part of the tree, middle click before your copy and make sure that you can see it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonassus Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Sorry I think i was not clear about the set up. There is an instance object node. Which contains some scattered points that have a randomized @Cd attribute. The Instance node is instancing a sphere which is also at object level. The @Cd attrib is present inside the instance node but does not get transferred to the spheres that are being instanced. curiously the @pscale attrib that is also present on the points inside the instance node does get transferred to the instanced sphere. I was wondering how to get the color attrib to the instanced sphere. I could do something similar in the instance node with mantra and a material override. But I was planing on using a different renderer and am trying to get the color to the instanced spheres. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepu Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 can you post what you have so far.... Also what render are you trying to use? different render have different requirements to make attributes to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
