Hi all! I'm investigating some ideas to manipulate PointInstancers with AttributeWrangle and I would love some UI feedback in the 3DV.

Is there a way to set v@primvars:displayColor such that it varies per instance? Refer to this trivial example where each instance is assigned a i@primvars:region, then I try to set different displayColor to each region.



Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it to work--I've tried running over elements (or not), using v@primvars:displayColor (versus usd_setprimvar), etc. Note in the SceneGraphDetails tab I have an array of different displayColor values, the 3DV only seems to respect the first one.


I could dice up my PI with SplitPointInstacers and give each PI its own displayColor, but I would prefer to 1) not cut up my PointInstancers and 2) have more granular per-instance control.



Thanks!

Unfortunately HoudiniGL does not currently support this, which we realize isn't great. We are aware and hope to have a fix in a future release, but we don't have a timeline.

Please log an RFE though, to help boost visibility/importance (though this is a long-requested issue). Thanks!

hey Chris, great to hear from you! Hope all is well. Thanks for the info, I'll file an RFE as this would be incredibly helpful for visualization.

I also noticed in your scene you have:
I suspect you probably want this to be:
