Hi,
I need to export some geometry, with materials from Maya to Houdini as alembic, and then import it back. Preferably with assigned materials.
Now splitting mesh and building hierarchy is easy - path attribute. But what about materials? What is the attribute for materials? When I import alembic to houdini I get groups from Maya materials. So I know alembic can store them. Also when I import the alembic exported from Maya back to maya it assigns the materials fairly ok. So I know this can be done. Just couldn't find the attribute to store materials.

thanks.

Hello,

I think you are looking for the shop_materialpath attribut.
