Hi,
I have a question regarding pxr::HdMaterialNetworkSchema and materialX. I put here the standard_marble_solid

</surfacematerial>
</materialx>
When I load a usd stage with that this material through a custom engine (not Storm) I’m processing the network of nodes and it seems that in the conversion between materialX and HdMaterialNetworkSchema, we lost the ability to find the inputs of NG_marble1. HdMaterialNetworkSchema flatten the underlying graph and every constant (for example add_xyz:in2) is also an input.
Is there a way to know which is an input and which is a constant ?
Thanks,
Baptiste
