Bifrost Color to Maya ColorSet

[Anonymous]

I generated a simple ramp map from point position using Bifrost. I was hoping to bake this down to a colorSet. I don't need to keep it "live". It doesn't look like bifrostGeoToMaya is passing this data. Is there a way to do it? 

I tried connecting the color set, but that doesn't seem to work

It's slightly finicky, but it is possible to get Bifrost data into a colorset. There is one finicky step - the data needs to be in a property called "point_color" of type float4 (to encode RGBA). 

Otherwise you can use bifrostGeoToMaya as usual, and it will create that colorset for you. That is documented here: https://help.autodesk.com/view/BIFROST/ENU/?guid=Bifrost_MayaPlugin_output_objects_to_the_scene_conv...

Example scene is included.
