[HOU-3206] aovBind Node

[hsz]

I tried to look up the docs but I couldn't find any info there. Not 100% sure what this node does? Is it like a bind and bind export from vop network? and if so I would like to see an example of how it can be used. It didn't work for me. Thanks!

Here is an example scene. Basically you connect some texture to the input, entering a name and then setup ROP -> Images -> AOV Binds.

I see, so there isn't a difference from this I'm guessing just another option. Thanks

Well the main difference is that AOV setup at the material output will produce render elements no matter what, while with AOV bind only the ones selected at the ROP node will be rendered..

Hello, I found out that aovBind export doesn't work with V-Ray TexUserColor. If we try to export a user attribute.
The bind node and the output node, both
please check
houdini v19.0.455 and 19.0.561

I'll need a hip file to check, may be it's some specific setup that doesn't work - could you please send me the .hip file?

of course
actually, in this example, I can't get any approach working, maybe I do smth wrong
basically, I try to export an attribute my_noise to an AOV which

houdini 19.0.561

This seems like GPU regression, we'll have to fix this. CPU works correctly.
