Hello

Attached is a sample max file.  I have a growth of hair.  I am trying to make some variation from hair to hair in the root to tip color.  I have created a Multi-Sub with 2 materials, with 2 distinctly different gradations.

I have checked the Scatter Randomly box on Material ID's section of Mesh from Strands.  I set the num Mat ID's to 2.

It seems I only get the first material in my list each time.  I tried swapping.  See attched image for the two different results.  Also attached Max file that was used to make this, incase you inspect my stack and find I am making a mistake in some other way that is causeing this. 

Thank you!

Hello Stefan,

If you set the Num Mat IDs: to 3 you should be all set. There is some sort of enumeration issue there. 

Thanks

Michael
