Hi community!

I was trying to import a primitive attribute into a shader VOP network. However, I realized I have to specify the prim number (using the prim attribute node). Is there a way to get the current primitive number in a shaded surface context? I noticed that the only Id variable available in my globals is the Sample ID. Is that the same as the prim ID?

Thanks in advance!

Easiest is to promote your primitive attribute to a point attribute.

Thank you Erik

It looks however that even if I do that, the node requires a point ID, which seems to not be available on this context. Is there a way to get the point ID in the VOP shader context?

Create an attribute with your point id and bring it in with a regular parameter as you would do with any attribute.

Thank you for you reply Erik! I will give it a shot a little later
