We are using octane for Houdini on a high end car commercial and the lack of support for an arbitrary number of RGB matte AOV's is crippling, is there something we are missing? We need to assign matte id to Groups not just top level Geo nodes. In Houdini our complex car assets are a abc file contained in a geo node. As of now the plugin can only assign object properties on the top level geo node and not on the geo groups within the node. These low level groups are what separates objs for material assignments, xforms, etc. I can provide some screenshots if this is unclear. If the Octane core had something like this for the wonderful dev- Jaunjo to take advantage of in his plugin that would make our compositors very happy and prevent us from setting up tedious "matte" renders. Even if Arbitrary # RGB mattes was added without the support for groups we would be much better off. Please let us know what is possible for the very near term as this is simple but crucial for the workflow.
Thanks,
Shane
