can't put a material on x-particles trails from emitter

just want to apply materials on particle trails (it works with cinema native renders) - saw a lot of such examples from https://www.behance.net/beeple

maybe somebody can help me with right setup?

You need to add hair to the trail and then material the hair - only way with Octane right now as it does not support XP shaders....yet ;)

Thanks a lot my friend! It's working =)
But i should said that if you want hairs to react directly as emitter trails (according to modifiers and etc.) you should select "spline guides" on "root" section of "add hair" module.

Hope it will help someone)
