I have another update to this HDA! Version 8 will now accept the name “Diffuse” and “Base Color” in the base color texture channel images. Sorry it took so long to get this update out, but I also found another issue while working on this one. The HDA actually relies on the primitive attribute in SOPS to have a “name” primitive attribute in order for Solaris to isolate the relative geometry portion so it can easily be assigned the material slot. Otherwise you’ll need a Solaris expression to some how isolate the geometry in order to assign the material. This ONLY matters if there is more than one material slot in your geometry, if there’s only one, well it’ll just take the whole thing.
To summarize, you need a “name” primitive attribute in SOPS! So it doesn’t matter what goes into the group parameter in my HDA, you still need this “name” primitive otherwise the HDA doesn’t know how to assign the material to the correct part of the geometry in Solaris. I tried coming up with a workaround, but I’ve been super busy with some other stuff, so far now I can’t think of a workaround. You need a “name” primitive in SOPS!

Substance Painter Preset
My Karama Generator HDA needs a very specific folder naming convention to detect the material names. It reads the sub folder names, which is the material slots in Substance Painter. If you’re using Substance Painter to create your textures, you can use this template preset.
