Hi, so I know how to set a vertex color, but how do I set a vertex alpha?. It seems Cd only supports R G and B. I'd like to be able to set the alpha before exporting to 3ds max.

Alpha in Houdini is a float, so you add it separate from Cd. This would work in a Vertex Wrangle, to add Color and Alpha as vertex attrs:

v@Cd    = {1,1,1};
f@Alpha = 1.0;

As another option, Attribute Adjust Float [www.sidefx.com] with Attribute Name set to Alpha is equivalent to f@Alpha = 1.0;
