Subject: Overriding Arnold attribute with different values in Golaem
Character Maker

Details:
Hi,

I want to override Arnold-specific attribute "toon_id" with different values
in Character Maker.
I could add Shader Attribute Node named "arnold.toon_id.string" with "Hair"
string value and then override the particular shapes.
However,I had to apply additional "arnold.toon_id.string" with "Body" string
value to other shapes.
Unfortunately Character Maker could have ONLY one "arnold.toon_id.string"
node,right?
This means I cannot apply multiple toon_id properties to different shapes.

Do you have any ideas?

I already know the way to override Arnold properties using aiSetParameter.
But aiSetParameter couldn't identify with any namespaces.
This is why I don't use it.

Hey there,

I'd recommend checking Arnold operators to override attribute name at render time.
Indeed shader attribute names have to be unique by design.

Let us know how it goes

Hey,

Checking at the code, you can try having attributes named arnold.toon_id.string.2,  arnold.toon_id.string.3...

It should be parsed properly and assigned to Arnold

Hi,

I noticed that "arnold.toon_id.string" could not be recognized by Golaem as Arnold Toon ID property.
If I renamed it to "toon_id", it could be recognized.

But "toon_id.1" was NOT recognized.

Hi,

Regular shader attributes need to have unique names in a Golaem Character File. They translate as Arnold User data

Renderer attributes (which starts with "Arnold.") are translated as Arnold predefined channels. 

What are you trying to to exactly?

Can you send an ass file sample which shows what you need to do?

Have you checked Arnold operators?
