Hey All,
Im still very new to particles so Im doing some experimenting. Can someone point me in the direction of how to get my particles to get their color from my model? Right now I have them set up to get their colors from a color ramp.

Im on Houdini 20.0.688

Make sure your particles inherit uv attribute from the can

Then use Attribute From Map SOP to sample the same texture you are using on the can

Thank you very. I'll give this a try. The can has several materials on it, would I need to put all of them on one uv/ Texture sheet?

Not necessarily, there is a plenty of ways you can approach it

Id probably store texture path as an attribute on the can geo so that the particles inherit it also

To do this you can either assign it in SOPs to the same elements as your materials
Or you can do a small Python SOP to extract the texture paths based on materials assigned through s@shop_materialpath attribute

Then you can use something like
