Hello,

Question: Can I use a displacement map on hair?
Problem: I get the hair to show up and simple colors, BUT I can't get displacement maps or bump maps to work. Is this because the octane conversion to polys has no UV information?

I am creating a lot of ultra thin threads or fibers spiraling together which are magnified as an ECU to see the subtle bumps on each strand. How can it be pulled off?

Any help would be appreciated very much. Thank you. :)

I don't think hairs support uvs across per uv. Just for root points. That should be reason because displacement wish that. I don't know bumps.
