Ornatrix 3ds Max | Octane Renderer | How to fix paint color in viewport?
Up until recently, there was a bug in Ornatrix 3ds Max and Octane Renderer that prevented you from seeing the hair color in the viewport when Octane Hair was assigned to an object. Starting with the new Octane build 2023.1.2.14.10, you can use the special Conceal Layer option, which is located in the Special tab - for almost every material.
You can read more about it here - https://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtop...
You can also get the prepared scene that I show in the lesson there.
In this video, I'll show you where the option is enabled and we'll color the Ornatrix object a bit more to check the working function.

TIMING:
0:00 - Open the scene, which is available on the Octane forum, I linked it above
0:05 - Assign Octane Hair Mtl
0:09 - We see that there is no color in the Viewport. I'm just showing the problem that was in the previous builds
0:14 - Go to Ornatrix Edit Guides and enable the СolR Channel. How to get it - I told you in the previous lesson.
0:18 - So, we have this channel selected, but the color is still not visible in the viewport. Now I'll show you how to fix it.
0:22 - Scroll down to the very bottom of the material settings and activate the Conceal Layer option. As a result, we will see the color in the viewport and the problem is solved.
0:29 - But I want to check if everything works correctly - by additionally painting the object in other colors. Go to Brush mode and in Current Brush - select Paint.
0:34 - Activate any color and paint the hair. Everything works
0:45 - Using Display Options and Opacity - you can adjust the strength of the color overlay.
0:53 - I'll paint in a few more colors
1:09 - Now, for this to work in the render, you need to create an Octane Color Vertex Attribute and connect it to the Albedo slot in the Octane Hair material
1:16 - Then in the node itself you need to select HairColor1 in the Name field.
1:22 - Check on the render. Everything works.
1:39 - Again turn off and on the Conceal Layer option and see that everything also works and the color in the viewport matches the color in the render.
1:43 - Watch the previous video, subscribe to the channel or open my page on Artstation
