Hair Color Not Transferring to UE5? Here's What You're Missing in Ornatrix
Learn how to paint hair and fur colors in Ornatrix and export them correctly to Unreal Engine 5 using the required groom_Color channel.
In this quick tutorial, I show a compact workflow for setting up a custom groom color channel, painting color data, projecting textures, and exporting the groom with Ornatrix Alembic for UE5.
The key point: Unreal Engine reads painted groom color data only when the channel is named exactly groom_Color.

- How to set up the mandatory groom_Color channel for Unreal Engine
