We are trying to find a way to consistantly store per strand data about the index / id of the source guide curve (in other word, the closest guide curve to the each hair strand)
So far, we tried to use stand group, and the pymel command "OxGetGuideDependency" from the following page:
https://ephere.com/plugins/autodesk/maya/ornatrix/docs/4/MEL_and_PyMEL_Reference.html#Per-Strand-Functions
The problem is, neither of them is able to deal with the hair generated from "Multiplier" operator, the hair from "Multiplier" would be added to one single strand group instead. (In screenshot1 shows the desired strand group using "HairFromGuides", the screenshot2 shows the false strand group using "Multiplier")
Does anyone know is there a built-in method to store the source guide curve index in each downstream strand curve in general?
Thank you
