Hello!

I am new to MoI and I am just testing the tool in tandem with Houdini.

Currently I am in the process of researching a pipeline for automated CAD data conversion. There are other tools out there which are quite pricey when it come sto batch processing (Pixyz and InstaLOD for instance). The Houdini + MoI route looked very promising until I hit a roadblock. I need to preserve material names from the original CAD tool. Unfortunately it looks like MoI changes material names to "Level 1", "Level 2" and so on. I attached a comparison screenshot between a Pixyz Import and a MoI import of the same STEP file. I also tried IGES as import format but same behaviour there.



No matter if I go through Houdini or open the STEP file directly in MoI, the material names are overwritten.

So my question is, is there a way (or file format) that preserve the material names?

Thanks for the help! Cheers, Alex
