Awesome, that helped a lot. I think I was always a bit scared of building my own Agent from scratch as the regular Agent Node is so convenient. Thank you so much for the example File.

Hello,
I am struggeling to make this work. Would it be possible to get an example file or have a look at mine?
I have attached it with my current state to add an blendshape to an existing agent.

Note that you also need to have the corresponding channels on the agent's rig, which the Agent from Rig SOP can import from the 'clipchannels' attribute, e.g. from the Character Blend Shape Channels SOP

The Agent from Rig Sop seems to create a new Agent which is not what I want and I don't know any other node to use instead.
If its not easiy possible to do with nodes onlz I am also fine with python or vex.


Thanks,
Dominik

Its just a guess but I think the way you merge the lights leads to the duplicate material primitives.
Try to connect after another, via a sublayer as described here (https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/solaris/tutorial-lighting-3.html)
or just have an input connection to the first light. This might also fix the error during rendering.
