      Hello!

      I'm trying to get the feather textured with horizontal stripes.
      I've followed this video on Cineversity:
      https://www.cineversity.com/vidplaytut/creating_a_feather/
      and added a Gradient Texture to the feather/hair material. However, I can't get the striped look when rendered on Redshift.

      Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
      Could you be kind and take a look at my file here?

        Hi video-resource,

        It worked up to R26, not in 2023. The UV Feather selection seems to be of no use.

        You can check with tech support if you like.
        https://www.maxon.net/en/support-center

        I will file a report.

        All the best

          Thank you @Dr-Sassi!
          That's good to know that the feather UV is actually broken in 2023.
          I thought I didn't set it up properly. Thank you for your feedback and filing the report.

              Hi video-resource; thanks for that.

              As I have mentioned, I have filled a report.
              So you might get a reply saying that this is a known problem. But yesterday, there was no record of such.

              I hope it is fixed ASAP.

              Sorry about the experience while learning, and being exposed to the uncertainty, if the tool, the tutorial, or something else is incorrect.

              All the best
