How to transmit point cloud attributes to alembic instance ?

[jobigoud]

i was wondering if the fix that you code is still needed today ? or does standalone recognize id's directly now ?

As far as I know it is the plugin that should set up these IDs and create the corresponding color maps during export.

thanks for your answer jobigoud.
i use houdini alembic exporter to create the alembic file. so it is not related to a houdini plugin problems.

i might need to define the proper attribute. what does octane standalone expect precisely to generate correct id.
- my attribute name is :

Code: Select all

id

- i store it as a point attribute
- type is integer

but maybe octane expect an other name ?
maybe it also expect the attribute at vertex level ?
