VRAY fur colour?

[moocowfish]

Probably an obvious question, but can you make the colour of the vray fur be the colour of the map underneath.
ie: if you cover a sphere with hte checker material, can you get the fur to be black where the black parts and white where the white is.
thanks in advance.

yeah just apply the material with the diffuse map to the fur object

i must be missing something, ive put a material on the object and when i add the fur it stays the smae colour as the wireframe that is assigned to it.
any furhter ideas?
thanks
