Hair color

[michael_olssson]

Sorry I might have missed something here. But I cant get my head around how I can color/texture hair anymore? Can someone please help with how you set it up? Link to a youtube or something?

Hello michael_olssson ,

You can add V-Ray Hair Next material and apply it to your hair object. You can find information about its parameters here:

Hi! aleksandar.kasabov
Thanks for the info mate!

I'm trying to do a carpet. And I want to put a pattern on it. When I load the image in the Diffuse slot, in the Hair Next material, noting happens i the render.

Hi Michael, yep that won't work at the moment. Can't color strands based on the texture, you can take a look here
Should be coming soon tho

YunalZobu Ok I see. But if I just want a solid color? it's very hard to steer the hair material. Eighter way it gets blown out or just to dark or wrong color. It's so many parameters. Or is this not ready yet?

if so is there somewhere it is explained? And I'm not thinking of the manual. More lite YT clip or something.
