Hi,

is the fur thickness attribute accessible on a point per point basis ?

Hi,

The Octane plugin gets the fur thickness from the "width" float point attribute, if available in the curve primitives.

Thanks,

Just do a gradient on curves and call it width.
If you use resample node and turn on curveu attribute, you should be able to do it easily. Turn off resampling if you don't need it.
After that create a wrangle node and write @width = @curveu;
@curveu attribute goes from 0 to 1 so you can fit it to whatever value you want. So the code should be:
@width = fit01(@curveu, min, max);

Yea keep it at default, it doesn't really matter. If you have width attribute, it's gonna override whatever you have in obj level.
