Hey guys,

So I have a couple assets produced in Houdini that look cool with their color information in Houdini. But, I need to get these effects into Max to be rendered in VRay. I would very much like to be able to get the color information into a material id in max so that the Vray renders look that much better. In theory, alembics should hold on to this information, but I can't seem to get it to work. One effect is animated geometry and the other is made up of particles. Any help would be appreciated!

try saving data as uv2 (or just uv if you don't need it), then using a texture plugin in max to read the 2nd uv channel as color… forget the name, infotexture?

Thanks, I'll check it out!
