hair & fur VRayHairMtl

#1

i have a modeled fabric carpet. with a carpet texture. i am trying to have VRayHairMtl on top to give it some subtle fuz.

is it possible to use the carpet texture with VRayHairMtl so that the strands are the same color as the texture under ?

I’m struggling with the same issue. I apply my texture via VrayHairMtl and it completely ignores my UVs. I don’t even know what to do now, there is simply no other way to have my texture applied to my fur.

Assuming you are using Max’s Hair and Fur, simply apply the texture map to the growth object, then go to Rendering > Effects and in the Hair Rendering Options choose “geometry” (or “buffer”, but I believe this will revert to the Hair and Fur renderer rather than Vray). If you choose “mr prim” then the UVs are somehow screwed by the voxel setting - perhaps it only works with mental ray as the renderer.

Geometry doesn’t work with vray hair mtl and hair&fur. Rendering gets stuck. Only mr prim works and this is a well known issue. But thank you for answer.
