Hey guys,

is there a way to use Octane's particle rendering on Particle Groups in X-Particle?
Simple setup: One Emitter, two groups with different colors. How can I display both of them?
The Octane tag has no option for particle rendering on the groups, just the emitter itself.

Thanks!

Thanks for the fast response!
Sure, I attached it. This is a simplified version of the scene of course.

I want to render both colors. How would I do that if a second emitter is not an option?

Okay, color I found out myself: It seems to work via Instance Color, but I would like to apply a different material to each group with different properties in color, bump, emission, etc.
How would I achieve that?

Plugin is not aware of group ids. Just particle colors, do your magic by making some setup over this logic
