Rop-arnold does not write Texture path envrioment asString into .mtlx file

Hi,

I am implementing htoa production workflow. Since the material override and style-sheet method currently not supported in htoa, I thought to give a try to the MaterialX assignment process. It works amazing. There is a bug while mtlx look assignment.


1. It does not write the whole texture path asString data to mtlx file.

eg: my image node texture path: $PROJECT_PATH/$ASSET/asset_diff.jpg

data exported to mtlx file: value=/Drive/projects/Tombx_ride/Horse/asset_diff.jpg. Environments are not suppose to get expanded.


I use Ropnet-arnold node for writing .mtlx lookfile.

I'm not sure this is a bug.

When the materialx operator reads in the mtlx file and creates the Arnold nodes, that happens in the render session, where $PROJECT_PATH and $ASSET are unknown. Those have meaning only in Houdini.

is there any way to get value=$PROJECT_PATH/$ASSET/asset_diff.jpg inside .mtlx file? Because, later If I need to change the project path, It will be easy for me.
