I’m new to 3D and C4D and this has me stumped. I’m trying to apply and pin a texture to hair that is being used as tentacles. Is there a way to do this so that the texture behaves more like it has been UV mapped on to an object? Instead what I get is the hair object moving through the texture. I’ve seen a number of tutorials that apply basic colors to hair tentacles but I’m looking for more texture/design. It’s driving me crazy.

Hi hastings,

Please have a look here:

Would that work for you?

If not, please attach a scene file (zipped <= 4MB) (reduced to the problem), as images don’t tell me a lot. Thank you.

All the best

Dr. Sassi,
Thank you so much. I had been using a built in material from the materials browser but your solution using an external image worked perfectly. I have a long way to go but the quick and helpful response found here has helped me get another step on my learning journey. Thank you.

Hi Phil,

Thank you very much for the reply. I’m sitting here and exploring something, call it learning or playing – I often don’t see the difference.

The central part is to enjoy the journey, isn’t it?

Enjoy!
