OBJ > Octane > Attributes | forwarding attributes with *

Hi everyone,

I hope you're well,

Maybe this is an expected behaviour but I noticed that when using the "*" to forward attributes to the VOP material context it doesn't work. Instead they need to be specified individually like "Cd" or "uv". This can slow down the workflow and I'd prefer to be able to automatically forward them.
Looking forward hearing if this is a bug or intentional.

Kindest regards,
Phil

It is intentional because Octane only can handle 2 color attributes and 4 float attributes at the same time, so the user has to select the attributes to be translated to Octane at the scene extraction time. Perhaps it could be automatic if the object doesn't have more than these 2/4 attributes, but currently you need to specify the attributes to be extracted.

Thanks,

Thank you for the quick reply !
That is what I thought, I'll just pre-fill the attributes explicitly
Have a good day,
Phil
