I ran into the same problem. Szmatefy do you mind sharing your wrangle? Would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Luis
I was looking for the same solution. You can get the texture path in LOP with wrangle and assign to primvar "texture_path", unpacking in sop should pass the attribute to prim.
string material = usd_boundmaterialpath(0, s@primpath); string texture_path = usd_attrib(0,material+"/tex_base","inputs:file"); usd_addprimvar(0,s@primpath,"texture_path","string"); usd_setprimvar(0,s@primpath,"texture_path",texture_path);
