User Attributes on faces

[cgdom]

I have a shader in maya that uses user attributes to switch around textures, the attributes are assigned on the object in maya right now, but is there some way to assign them to certain faces on an object the way one can do in houdini?

It's not possible to assign user attributes to polygons, I'm afraid. Could you describe your use case? Maybe there is a better way of doing what you wish.
