Hi Face,
Can I achieve a gradient that I can see in Softimage in ICE, to my renders in Octane ?
I am looking at the demo scenes for Mootzoid's EMflock. He has a really nice effect of instances having a variable of colour based on scale and a gradient. Is this effect doable in Octane ?
Thanks Face ...

P.S. in order to render the instances in Softimage i am using a Colour attribute node in the render tree ( I am sure you know this already )

Haven't found any solution to give each instance a different color.
It will only work on instances which are exported as a single mesh.
The problem with instances is, that all have the same values. There is no chance to know, which instance should have which color.

Rendermap is backing on UV´s. But each instance have the same UV...
