I don't recall finding a good solution to this - pretty sure we are
still just rendering things like depth as outDepth.r/g/b etc
An image plane name of depth.Z is turned into depth_Z (which is good for
the vector types, but unfortunate for the float type). The replacement
may be patchable somewhere in Houdini's python, somewhere like
houdini/soho/python2.6/IFDframe.py - but I have not looked into this..
I don't think I ever contacted SideFX's support about this - would be
worth doing

I meant to say "image plane", not "image place"....

Hi Ben,
We're having this issue right now and I'm wondering if you found a
satisfactory solution. I thought maybe we could do a bit of hand
written vex code using a vex code node (not exactly sure here but
guessing based on RSL conventions...) that would force a float data
type to be stored in a variable name that we would want.
Also, does having a period in the image plane name screw it up? Like
can you just name a "depth" image place "depth.Z"? Probably not,
that would be too easy.
Thanks,
Michael

In a Mantra node, if I output some variable as a "VEX Type:
float type",

...then resulting EXR has a channel list like this:
channels (type chlist):
A, 16-bit floating-point, sampling 1 1
B, 16-bit floating-point, sampling 1 1
G, 16-bit floating-point, sampling 1 1
Op_Id, 32-bit floating-point, sampling 1 1
R, 16-bit floating-point, sampling 1 1
This Op_Id channel is read into "other.Op_Id" in Nuke, which seems
reasonable, but you can only see the name in a Copy node (the
Shuffle
just shows it very similarly to a red channel of "other"):

If I select "vector type" in Mantra, it duplicates the data into
Op_Id.r
Op_Id.g Op_Id.b and this shows up nicely in Nuke as a layer, but
the EXR
is 3 times as large..
Anyone found a good solution to this?
