Hi everyone.

Hope you guys are good.

Inside Houdini, particles with the Cd attribute work great with Octane using UV textures!

However, I am now sourcing particles and their Cd attribute, randomised by their id, into a pyro sim. Each particle has its own random color effecting an individual smoke trail. In the viewport I can see the various colors effecting the various smoke trails, but the question now is, how can I adjust this for Octane?

It there a way for Octane to see the Cd attribute for volumes?

I'm afraid that this feature is not supported by Octane yet. It doesn't support vector or color grids.

Thanks,

Thanks so much for getting back to me Juanjo.

Do you perhaps know if Octane will support this feature at some point?

It has been requested several times, so I hope to see it implemented at some point.

Thanks,
