OTOY Forums

Hi guys, Octane noob here.
I had a quick question about a scene I made that basically has a flower with 5 petals, I separated the petals and remapped them to be called petalnum and used a range to individually select the petals.
I was wondering how I can have the shader use this selection to determine what to apply the shader to because when I try to test it out it just applies the gradient to the whole flower rather than each petal.
Ideally, I just want a radial gradient that comes in from the edges of each petal.
Thank you in advance!

Here's a link to the project file:

Sorry, I'm not sure to understand what you are trying to do. I suppose that you could use an attribute to control de material, but it is hard to say. Do you have a simpler example scene?

Sorry for the confusion, I essentially am looking for a way to separate my petals and create a gradient on them individually rather than applying it to the whole flower at once which is currently what it does when I attempt to make a gradient.

I have it setup so that you can select each petal using @petalnum but I wasn't sure if there's a way to use that to drive the gradient to only apply to the selected petal.
Thanks for your help!
