Hi,

I'm doing the tut Introduction To ICE Strands In Softimage.

When applying shaders in the Render Tree I've come across something "weird" that I can't explain.
When adding a Color_Attribute node (XSI 2011) to e.g. a Constant node and set the 'Attribute' parameter to 'Color', and then rerender, the render region does not render the ICE color, even not when I rerun the simulation.

I've experienced that when I set the 'Attribute' parameter to 'StrandColor' and THEN to 'Color', only then does it render the ICE color.

But because of this issue I'm not sure if at that point (setting the 'Attribute' parameter back to 'Color') it actually renders with that parameter set to 'Color' if you can understand what I mean.

Can anyone confirm and/or explain this behavior ?

Thanks, Dominiek.
