hi..

I'm struggling with the following.. I can't get this to work!

If I have a point with a float type attribute (0-1), e.g. 0.8.
How can I transfer this value over to a (close) primitive that case a prim color and map the float value 3 times (to Cd (to get the greyscale color)?

I tried this for 2 hours now, no luck.

Any input welcome!

You must first type cast the float into a vector, which is what your target, Cd is.
Drop down an attribute wrangle before the attribute transfer and try this code.
This will create a greyscale color value because all values for RGB are the same.

NOTE: You did not list the name of your float value so substitute your name for f@my_float. Also you will need to transfer my_vector to Cd, not my_float.

Ok, thanks for the inputs .. much appreciated!

So playing with this:

Is it only possible to transfer from points to points (with the same attr name and data type) and NOT from a point attr directly to a prim attr (an additional attr promote is needed)?

here's something that works.

You got it, attribute promote is a way to migrate attributes from one context to another.
