texture maps for xgen hair color

[thomashl]

I am doing a furry creature hair render and wondering if I can use regular uv texture lookups to color the hair primitives or if I can only use ptex textures.

xgen does only eat ptex...
but there is a little trick to use maya to bake your uv based texture to ptex...
