Is it possible to add a ramp texture to the maya hair that is rendered in octane?
I've attached an image of a hairstyle with many different hair system profiles,
but a ramp texture would bring it to a whole new level.

If anyone has any information on this, are the hairs converted to polygons and have a UV map assigned where a ramp texture can be used.

Sorry,

I have a very short experience on the hair material. What I saw until now is that it does color the hair depending on the UV of the surface they are attached to. I've never been further.

Anyone from the octane render team? Is there a way to create a ramp or gradient effect onto the hair.

Still hoping someone from the octane render team could let me know if this is possible. Allowing a ramp or gradient texture to go onto hair to give it a more realistic look.

I'm also wondering the same.
How do I apply a ramp color texture to hair?

Hi Guys,

from my side is looking the colour scale option on maya they are not take it. Just the base colour on the normal UV not on the clump UVs.

here a scene. for settings.

Maybe Jim could have a update on the plugs or setup for us. Please.
