embed animated object values into exr with OptionRE

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max General

I’m trying to write a few scaler values into my exr’s metadata with the OptionRE render element but all I’m getting is the text I’m inserting into the text field of the render element and not the object value.

so I type in attr1=$box001.height and instead of getting “10” I’m getting “$box001.height”

I’m doing this so I can retrieve this data in nuke and pipe it into a text node. The object attributes are animated so they will change from frame to frame.

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks.

Yep - Open EXR metadata from 3dsmax - General - Chaos Forum
