So first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna, let's move our Carve node over here, and we're gonna branch off our last node before we did the actual carving, 'cause what we want, we need the actual full, uncarved wires for this, and you'll see as this goes along. We have the Carve attribute buried in here, but we want the full wires. So, first thing we're gonna do is we're gonna make another attribute, and we're gonna call that attribute Umap, and we need…
