Hi
I'm making grass and vegetation with vray instancer and i want to make some color variations for grass.

Can you make vrayinstancer control material id's with a texture map or get material id from particle material id option.

thanks.

Will make a note to look into it.

In the meantime, maybe you can use a VRayMultiSubTex texture with the mode set to "Random by ParticleID".

Yes I'm already using it but it's not satisfying. Results are not like this.

[vlado]

Yes, they will be more random. Anyways, I've logged this as a feature request, so we'll see.

Best regards,

Also can there be a way to read out the Vertex color on particles and use them in the Materials of the instanced Objects?

[vlado]

We'll see about that.

Best regards,
