Don't worry, I do understand. Believe it or not we're looking at different ways of working around the same thing.

As it is I achieved the result that I was after using the above solution, and I thought it would be better to document it than to leave the thread hanging. I'm sure we've all read down ...

It's still not quite right; though I do see where you're coming from. Your example isn't so much "color per object" as it is "color per x translation".

However, your use of texture projections gave me a solution, so thanks again for your input.

The solution is essentially a lookup table generated ...

Still no luck. No worries though, and thanks for the responses.

The following is primarily out of interest, but it'll hopefully clarify what I've been fiddling with...

Given the right context, the Mograph shader returns an object's display color (example 1), which doesn't appear to be translated ...

This one?

It's great, but it's not exactly what I'm after.

For one thing, I'm not working with clones and effectors. What I've got are a couple of hundred pieces of geometry created from a Python generator.

Using the native Cinema renderer and material, placing a ...

Thanks for the reply.

Me? I've a large number of objects. I'd like them to be controlled by a single material, albeit with their diffuse color set on a per object basis.

Might there a way to achieve this in Octane?

Cheers,

Hi folks,

I'm brand new to Octane, so I'm sorry if this is a daft question, but is there any way I can get an object's display color (an object that is not a clone) to render in Octane?

I've tried a few things to no avail, and from what little I've read support for the Mograph color shader is ...
