Hello!

I can't for the life of me figure out how to rename my uv-sets in Houdini.

I attempted to create an attribute rename sop node and rename it from there, however, unfortunately the uvs just seem to disappear completely if I do that. It won't show up when I export either.

I was also wondering if perhaps I could get in contact with someone through an IM, such as facebook messenger or skype as I find myself to have a lot of small quick questions and it feels like I am bloathing the forums with small silly things such as this.

I do ofcourse always refer to the net and the docs if I am stuck for longer periods of time, but I do not always find the answers I am looking for.

Thanks!

Best regards

Attribute Rename is the correct way to do it… make sure you are specifying Point or Vertex attributes correctly.

I can only guess that it worked since they did get renamed, however I can no longer see the uvs in the uv-viewport and when I export this object my uvs are not there at all.

I may be wrong but I think the UV viewport has an unfortunate hard-coding of just looking for “uv” and “uv2” etc.

You can put a rename on and just display the rename to temporarily see them. Not a super smooth workflow though.

Ah wait, in H15 the new Visualizer stuff might be helpful. Take a look in the docs, I think you might be able to use that to view any named attribute. I don't know if it works in the UV viewport though for what you'd want.

Got exporting to work this time around atleast after having renamed them. However, the uv-sets only show up as uv and uv2 anyways. Hah!

Will take a look at the visualizer stuff, might be useful for other things even if I do not get this to work like I want it to.

Edit: Err, nevermind, I forgot to tick the bypassed attribute rename node back on. My uvs do get lost somehow after renaming them through the attribute node for all intents and purposes.
