Hi Micah, 

Is the issue that the id pass isn't in the dtex file or is the issue that 
you're not too sure how to use it in Nuke? Are you certain you're outputting id 
values into the dtex file?

With that all said looking at the dtex reader code it looks like Nuke is only 
supporting RGBA in dtex files so even if the id pass was in the dtex file it 
will be ignored in the read.  A new reader would need to be written that 
supports 16.0's new dtex format and interface. 

We have internal tools that handle id passes correctly, so what you're doing is 
theoretically possible.

cheers
