I have some float type image planes output from Houdini with exr format. When I bring that image into Nuke, Nuke seems merge all of the float type layers into “others” channel. This causes some problems when I shuffle those float type AOVs.
It's the same problem as this discussion.

I can't to change my float AOV output to vector because I need to reduce channel numbers in Nuke and reduce the file size.
I am wondering is there a way to tell nuke not to merge those float type AOVs into “other”
or
Can Houdini output image planes with channel groups, for example, I can put all my float AOVs in “my_mask” group and nuke will load them as “my_mask” instead of “other”

Attach a hip file and exr

Hi,

Same issue here, try to use expression node like that :

Red : other.nameOfYourAov1
Blue : other.nameOfYourAov2
Etc….

This is a clean way to find yours aovs.
Next you can use remove node to clear nuke's buffer

Happy new year
