Would like help from Kai on Shaders Oct. 18, 2019, 3:22 a.m.
@Christopher_R,
all you need to get a basic AOV is the bind export VOP. Set Layer Export is only needed when layering multiple shaders.
Can you get your export_customDiffuse to work at all?
You have to set up a corresponding image plane of the same data type on the Mantra ROP as well, maybe that part is missing in your setup?
@pickled I believe we already have an RFE for that. My main obstacle with adding that sort of functionality is the resulting UI clutter. I may tackle that sort of stuff for the next release (after 18).

Hi, I'd be happy to answer your question.

In that screenshot of the network editor it looks like you tried to attribpromote the uv attribute, did that not help?
I would have suggested promoting ‘uv’ to a vertex or point attribute.
