It looks like fbx importer is creating inside obj nodes of a FBX imported geo, a shop_materialpath prim attribute. This is an issue whenever I try to render with Redshift, since the path is pointing to non existing materials - to overcome it, I should either:

- delete the shop_materialpath attribute
- append a mterial node with the path at the end of any geo node inside the fbx package

Both the operations are a nightmare id the fbx is composed by hundreds of objs. Any suggestion?
Thank you!!

I'm coming across the same issue, and I distinctly recall this not happening in the past. Has something changed since H19.0? Is this a preference that can be set?

Thanks,
Jasper

I have bypassed the issue by using the wonderful ODTools - I import the fbx as a file and I ask ODTools to re-create the shaders as redshift shaders (since I am using RS, but you can choose among your favourite render engines). Using fbx as a file is much more efficient I think. Have a great day!
