Example Usage

DCC applications may use a different mechanism for applying a user attribute. Below are two examples for applying a color user attribute named "Ball" to a shape:

Maya:

Add a Pre Shape MEL user attribute to the shape using the Attibutes > RenderMan menufrom the Maya Attribute editor transform node, Name: Ball Type: color Color: Light Pink. The resulting export is below, note that we assume a User attribute from the Maya Editor automatically and does not need to be specified.

RiAttribute "user" "color Ball" 1 0.2 0.65

...

gb = GroupBuilder()
gb:set("value", FloatAttribute({1.0, 0.2, 0.65}, 3))
gb:set("type", StringAttribute("color"))
Interface.SetAttr("prmanStatements.attributes.user.Ball", gb:build())

Houdini:
