Ornatrix 3dsmax: Possible to drive hair colour through a bitmap image?

Hi Everyone Does anybody know if it's possible to control hair and fur colour through a bitmap image? I have a bearded character and I'd like to alter the colout of his beard by a jpeg which is mapped using the UVs from the character's head. Is this possible? Ideally I'd like to do it in Redshift but failing that VRay. Many thanks Geoff

Marcus	Hi Geoff, I have te same problem with creating a tigerfur from texture. I've managed to use the Vray Hairsampler to color hairs from bottom to top, and also random coloring the strands. But no luck getting colors from texture:( Wonder if this is even possible with vray.... Cheers, Marcus

Michael McCarthy	The default is to use the underlaying UVs for textrue. If you use the same map in the diffuse/color of you hair material you will get the color from the texture. Feel free to post a simple scene if you have an issue. Thanks Michael
