Question as I'm thinking about diving more into topic of OSL but i'm a bit puzzled by information in the docs about OSL.

What i'm pursuing is taking particle positions (exact not some random stuff) and use it for texture replication.
I'm super green but this is the topic. Is is possible ...

Ok, thank you Paul, hopefully it will come something good from it.

So here's the scene file. Simply turn on or off "use modo render cache".
Preffered is on as it allows to use fur but it is also preffered to use vmaps (for ad hoc quick material masks instead of using images).

Sure thing!
I spoke with Funk and he shared already some insight that it might be internal to render cache API.
Greg (Lauenberger) also added few cents to it what render cache do and how.
But will send simple scene tomorrow (as now i'm waiting for some sweet octane renders)
Mat

The problem with this method (as with other like create a workspace - was lookign for something similar as usually i have tons of other assemblies and such- for octane materials etc) is that then one cannot easily move/copy node to the other via schematic context commands as those assemblies ...

So I hitted a wall with displacement repeating when specified (in greyscale image node)it shouldn't.
I've seen in c4d help that this limitation is now gone (for them) but modo still have it?
Any info if this will be adressed? Or maybe some workaround?
Cheers,
Mat

Hello all.
It looks like if "Use Modo Render Cache is On" (meaning you can nicely render fur) - you cannot use weight maps as a Greyscale Vertex Attribute.
Can someone confirm?
