I'm having a hell of a hard time n00bing this one out.
Let's say I have an asset I've exported from maya as an alambic with UV data.
I create a shop network, create a shader, apply the shader to my alembic.
So far so good.

Now I want to populate that object (let's say a flat plane) with cubes and I want the cubes to inherit the color from the texture mapped to the geo.

Thanks for the help.

if you send me a file i can modify it to work…
