Heya,
I have several shapes that share a blinn material, and I want to create a
shadow pass. The current connection goes
blinn1.outColor -> blinn1SG.surfaceShader
I create a useBackground material, and twiddle the connections so its now
useBackground1.outColor -> blinn1SG.surfaceShader;
This works fine when I do it by hand, so I converted that into my
override/revert code like:
// override
connectAttr -f useBackground1.outColor blinn1SG.surfaceShader;
// revert
connectAttr -f blinn1.outColor blinn1SG.surfaceShader;
If the blinn is already connected, maya spits back the warning
Warning: 'blinn1.outColor' is already connected to 'blinn1SG.surfaceShader'
Which makes sense, however the renderpass plugin reads this as an error,
and doesn't continue. I could wrap this all in a test to see whats already
connected before trying to force the connection, but thats a little messy.
Is there a cleaner way of doing this, apart from the slightly
tempremental and not what I need assignSG command?
Cheers,
-matt
