They do show up in Karma, so the attributes do exist. And it does how up in standard octane.

There's one other thing I noted in the meantime. It seems like Octane doesn't interpret the scene camera correctly inside Solaris. When using any of the other renderers (e.g. Houdini GL, Karma, Redshift), the 35mm camera I'm using looks correct. Have a look at the image below for the correct field of view:

However, as you can see from the first image, Octane seems to "zoom" into the frame more than it should. Any idea why Octane's field of view is off compared to the other render delegates?

Hi Rohan,

Thank you so much for reporting this issue.
We are working now to see if we can implement the Vertex Attributes as the same workflow with our main Houdini plugin.

cheers

hey BK, it would be great if we could use either the standard houdini convention of Cd, or the USD convention of displayColor. There's a list of attributes and USD equivalent here https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/sol ... mport.html

I've attached a video to show the bug.
