Hasta La Motion!

I’ve been hunting for a few days now and am not finding an option for this.

is there some way to have more control over the color of the hairs in maya fur? or anything really, I tried the puppet shader’s p_hair, 3dsMax hair and fur modifier, and shave and a haircutut and it’s all the same settings (root and tip are one solid colour, and mapping the base or tip just maps where on the object it’ll be, not the shaft itself).

For sake of simplicity, what I want is each hair should be a rainbow: red at base, yellow in middle, blue at tip.

any ideas? I’m open to learning any software package and/or any plugin, I’m just baffled I can’t find this as an option easily and readily so far.

hey guys,
i have this few lines of code to copy a script to another location after it’s saved.

this is the entry in my menu.py

when i overwrite a script that already exists, this works like expected.
but when i try to save the script as a new script, i get an error message. this file doesn’t exist. so nothing is saved and nothing is copied.
i understand that ‘addOnScriptSave’ is executed before the script is saved. so this is an expected error.
i tried ‘nuke.scriptSave()’ before ‘shutil.copy(currScript, backupPath)’, but this gives me another error message: ‘maximum recursion depth exeeded‘.
would be great, if someone can point me to how i get the script saved before the copy command is executed!

thanks a lot,
d
