[TUTORIAL] Octane Color to Ornatrix Fur Tweet

[andrey.krivulya]

Hey, everyone! Happy New Year! First tutorial in 2023 =) Happy Viewing!

Are you looking for a way to make fur or hair come alive with color? Then look no further! This video will guide you step-by-step on how to apply color to your fur or hair with Octane and Ornatrix for 3ds Max. I'll provide you with an in-depth look at color painting directly on hair and show you the best way to use Octane and Ornatrix 3ds Max together to achieve stunning results - all in a simple, easy-to-follow format. By the end of the video, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to make your fur or hair look beautiful in renders!

In this video, I'll explain two methods to achieve amazing results in transferring color to fur. I will demonstrate the method you already know from previous videos, and then I'll also show you an advanced technique with a special brush in Ornatrix to paint fur exactly where you want it. After that, I'll give a detailed tutorial on how to render it correctly in Octane with a special node.

I also demonstrate how you can troubleshoot and avoid any bugs that I've described here:

➡Hair Tessellation - viewtopic.php?f=111&t=77070
➡[Ornatrix] Display color issue with Octane Hair material - viewtopic.php?f=27&t=80945

➡Autodesk Forum - https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max- ... p/11626915

And of course, I'll compare the rendering speed of such a fur in two different views, giving you all the information that you need to make an informed decision.

3:19 - Since Octane Renderer hasn't added an option for smoothing hairs yet - add the Strand Detail modifier to solve this issue.
4:52 - Create another Ornatrix object - to use the second method. I decided to create a new object, because it's easier to show the work of this method on it.
