Hi,

Is it possible to map the Vertex Color attribute from an alembic, to a material in Octane Blender?

In Cycles, you can reference the attribute name ('Cd' in this case), and plug it into a Diffuse pin...

Thanks.

You can in Octane for Blender V2018.

It's possible to use both Color and Float vertex maps. Currently the limit is 4 float attributes, and 2 color attributes.

Thanks Lino - so how is it done please? I can't work out how to get the attribute into the material...

Blender Vertex Groups map (Octane Float Vertex Tex) is useful for creating texture or material masks while Blender Vertex Color map (Octane Color Vertex Tex) can be used for any texturing purpose.
