Attribute node returns flat white on xpTrail per-vertex color regardless of Name field

Hello I'm trying to get my XPtrails to have the same texture and color as my particle emitter, but the attribute node returns flat white on xpTrail per-vertex color regardless of Name field, while W coordinate/Gradient map on the same geometry renders correctly. Is there a bug or any reason why this ...

Octane VDB and Octane Fog Volume Conflicting in Render

Hello,

I'm having an issue with using an Open VDB and also a Octane fog volume. With both in the scene as you will see attached, the fog volume cancels out the smoke plume VDB. I know this is how the system is supposed to work but is there a work around so that I can see both my fog volume and the ...

Ambient Occlusion AOV Pass Renders Black

Hello,

I have never had this issue before, but after rendering out my AO AOV Pass, when I open it in AE it's all black. I have seen people run into this before and I made sure to turn off the C4D save options in the render settings. I'm only using the Octane output module. I have also made sure to ...

Trail object only rendering one color in Octane

I am working on a project where there are trails being produced from an xp emitter. I want to shade the trails with a gradient hair texture, but after a few videos I found out you can not do that. So I created a glossy material with noise + colorizer to try to get the same effect. The only problem ...

Re: Recreating this material

I will definitely try that. The image I attached does have a fractal noise applied to it from after effects. I did use the block fractal noise as you suggested. But I did not invert it. I have never used the highlight compression. Since it is a float value I am guessing a little goes a long way?

Re: Recreating this material

Awesome! I am glad you like it. I am interested to see what you have in mind for the specular map. Here is another image you may like it is the same object in a cloth material. I too am excited by this.

Re: Recreating this material

Hey Bud I wanted you to check this out and see what you think. Your critique is welcome. So I found out that silver wing has done some work for Axisponza which is the company that did the image I attached before. So I found C4DAPT2 and Raphal Rau had a two hour session on how he creates the ...

Re: Recreating this material

It all seems so obvious now. Thanks a lot man, when I have something worthy I will post it here to see what you think. Where did you find the second image, I have seen somewhere as a promotion for a octane training course. I would like to find that course and watch it to increase my Octane skills ...

Re: Recreating this material

Thanks for the insight. You say that the objects design patterns are similar to silver wing designs? I will keep working on it to see what I can come up with.

Thanks again
