I’ve created a simple Xpresso tag in conjunction with an Arnold AOV tag to populate the AOV name with the object name, plus a “matte_” prefix by using an Math Add String node in between the object node and AOV node in Xpresso. Works fine when I create from scratch on a single object.
However, the trouble I’m having is when I try to copy the Xpresso and AOV tags to other objects in order to speed up the process. When I left click+ctrl drag the tags to a new object, it actually flips the AOV names. So the original AOV tag/name ends up in my target object, while the target AOV tag/name replaces the original. Very strange. Has anyone encountered this? FYI I’m using relative reference mode in xpresso, c4d R21/c4dtoA 3.0. Not sure if this is a bug, or I’m missing something. Thank you for your help.
