Hi Aoktar just wanted to check if you understand the issue our team is running into. Happy to provide more explanation

Thank you

Hi Akotar,

We're hoping you can include an option to make octane materials more compatible with C4D hair. C4D Hair material has a standard texture for the 'color' channel that will give every hair a uv map (suitable for feathers on cards), but also add a 'roots' or 'tips' node where you can use the ...

For the grooming options offered by using the hair system. I am not aware of how you could achieve this via octane scatter.

Hi Aoktar,

We are using C4D hair system, and we have it down to where we can use the root channel to distribute color. This works in c4d standard render. I know this is possible with octane, but only using regular hair. It doesn't seem possible in octane with feathers. Once we pick something other than 'None ...

@Yan Oh wow thanks so much, that fixed my issue! I had the turbulence at .5 and the octane had it at 1 . Thanks so much!!
