How to colour each hair strand differently, depending on another object's colour at a certain vertex? about com.unity.demoteam.hair HOT 5 OPEN

I tried something similar using a texture for the colours and was able to use the rootUV property in Shader Graph. How does your shader work? Is the colour applied to the vertices, or is it generated at the fragment stage? If it's a vertex colour it might be possible to pass it to the fragment stage as a custom interpolator, then use it there.

Thank you, extremely simple and straightforward! This does work for 1 object with 1 material. The final object I'm working with has several materials targeting certain UVs so it doesn't work correctly with this solution.
I'll have a think about how I'm approaching things to see if I really need several materials first. If I do still need them, I'll update here, otherwise this is what I was looking for so thanks again 😄

Glad I could help. The package really needs some documentation and demo scenes. I'm worried it's going to be abandoned.

A hair tutorial has been added to Unity Learn. Hopefully this repository will be updated soon.

Labeling as documentation request. :)
