At least one of the same issues as with the multiple Color names the attributes that the plugin uses are string tuples (and not string arrays and not multi parms) - Of course just changing it to tuples didn't fix all the color set problems in the recent maya_color_set post, so I will make sure I can still get it to work locally. Note that the output mapping was broken until 16.5.364, so if you're using an older version than that you will need to update.
I created a python sop which just hardcoded the name mapping:
node = hou.pwd()
geo = node.geometry()
a1 = geo.addAttrib(hou.attribType.Global, “maya_uv_name”, “uv”)
a2 = geo.addAttrib(hou.attribType.Global, “maya_uv_mapped_uv”, “uv”)
geo.setGlobalAttribValue(“maya_uv_name”, (“map1”, “uvSet”))
geo.setGlobalAttribValue(“maya_uv_mapped_uv”, (“uv”, “uv2”))
Which successfully set the maya names
Thank you so much! This helps a lot! Im still a little green on this subject, so i hope you mind me asking a few more questions. Is this only possible through python? or is there a way to do it with vex as well? Im just curious.
2)Is changing the names of the colors not possible right now? sorry, i think that is what you meant on your post. Not sure. Either way, i tried changing the name of the color, but it didnt seem to work.
node = hou.pwd() geo = node.geometry() a1=geo.addAttrib(hou.attribType.Global,"maya_uv_name","uv") a2=geo.addAttrib(hou.attribType.Global,"maya_uv_mapped_uv","uv") a3=geo.addAttrib(hou.attribType.Global,"maya_colorset_name","Cd") a4=geo.addAttrib(hou.attribType.Global,"maya_colorset_mapped_Cd","Cd") geo.setGlobalAttribValue("maya_uv_name",("map1","map2")) geo.setGlobalAttribValue("maya_uv_mapped_uv",("uv","uv2")) geo.setGlobalAttribValue("maya_colorset_name",("LAYER1")) geo.setGlobalAttribValue("maya_colorset_mapped_Cd",("Cd"))
Thank you!
