Hello community! I have some questions about the substance plugin that would be very helpful if anyone knows the answer.

Is there any way to use an input image with the Substance plugin for Houdini?

In Luiz Kruel's post [www.sidefx.com], he states that “The Substance Material SOP doesn't currently have any input support.” Is this also true for the COP node? If so is there any way to have a file path parameter for choosing an input texture?

I have attempted routing an input file node into the sbs COP node as well as setting “input” to op:`opfullpath('../../cop2net1/the_file')`.. Additionally, I have attempted using a File Cop node selected in the Substance Material SOP node's “Input Cop” Parameter as well.




Thank you for your help! I really appreciate any advice.
Best,
Cole Sohn

I don't think it is possible to use input images in the current substance plugin regardless of if you use the COP or SOP input node. I hope they add this soon.
