[HOU-1848] Material select not exporting blend materials correctly

[david.anastacio]

Hi again

Was trying to create a simple select materials AOV exports, and bumped into an issue.
In 3ds max using Vray I was always able to export the components of a blend material but in Houdini is not behaving the same way, see attached images and test scene (3ds max and houdini scenes).

In houdini it's always exporting the final blended of all sheders in the blend even when targeting the individual shaders that make up the blend, and in 3ds max the material selects of those same individual components of the blend gave me the individual shaders in their blended amount.

Best,
David.

Hey, david.anastacio ,

this is not implemented for Houdini at the moment, I've logged the request and will ping you as soon as we have it.

Best regards!

Hi, Gosho.Genchev ,
This is quite important for us, looking forward to get it implemented then. Thanks for looking into it.

Best.
David.

Hi again bdancer ,

Just tested the fix in the new nightly, still no good

bdancer,I think the update you did is actually missing in this last nightlies, because the update chakarov implemented on the Bake Tool are also not there.

In the image I attached you can see the Bake tool was supposed to have UDIM ranges, but still has the UV Min/max ranges.



Best,
David.

[chakarov]

david.anastacio , in Baker Tool UDIM mask parameter is visible when "Bake to Texture Tiles" is ON, and the UDIM mask will be respected in the range in UVmin-UVmax. UVmin-UVmax is the actual range where the tiles will be baked, and the UDIM mask is applied over it.

Hi again chakarov and bdancer,

Just updated to today's build, the material select fix is finally there, thank you
I'll reply to the bake in the other thread.

best,
David.
