Interactive Groom Color Issue

[fabio_gi]

Hi everybody,

I tried different approaches from this forum but I cannot solve this:
I cannot get a map based color on my interactive groom description even if I can see it in the viewport.

Any "must have" workflows?

Thank youu

When using a ram as a texture you should follow this workflow here:

XGen - Arnold for Maya User Guide - Arnold Renderer

It's at the bottom of the page. On the ramp make sure to check Implicit UVs. I've never done this personally

If you wanna use a texture map you should follow the procedure found here:
Assigning Color to Splines - Arnold for Maya User Guide - Arnold Renderer

It's been a while since I've used Xgen, but I haven't had an issue yet. Maybe up your scene file if you have already tried these out?

Thank you daunish! 
Last time I found tha page you shared  I quit reading it  because of the deprecated "aiHair"  and root/tip parameters. 

But unchecking "All Curve Implicit UVs" worked fine!
Thank you again.
