Is there any tutorial or information on how to transfer a attribute created in SOP's with “Attribute Create” to a shader?
Because obviously Im doing something very wrong And cant really find the info im looking for.

/M

Make an attribute (usually a Point attrib, but others will work) with the same name as the shader parameter. Eg. “rough” will override Roughness on the VEX Metal SHOP.

It's actually a lot simpler then is sounds.

If you create a float point attribute called “neener” on your geo, all you need to do is create a float attribute called “neener” on your shading network, and they will bind correctly. You RMB on an input, and select “Create Parameter”.

Watch your signatures though – float, vectors, etc…

Ah thanks but I wanted to use this Attribute at VEX level, but maybe creating a parameter in VEX and creating the Attribute with the parameter name ? and not as I did put $myAttribute in the parameter input ?

/M

Whether a shading network, or a vop sop network, they all work the same way.

Attrib ‘foo’ on geo, a parameter vop: ‘foo’ (no $) in the parameter name field.

Done.

Hmm but I think im doing exactley that but cant get it to work ..I must miss something that I think im doing right… would it be possible to create a very simple file ?

I hope im not asking for to much
