V-Ray Future Hair/Fur Plans?

[hellobard]

Works really well and is incredibly fast! 10000 hairs on one face rendered at under 10 minutes on a Macbook.

Nice! What a treat!

Nice! What a treat!

For those with nightly builds...

[hellobard]

It's really great, very impressed so far.

Even the Donut Man loves it!

Btw, is it possible to get a password for the release log rars?

It should be the same as for the builds themselves.

Best regards,

Made a really quick scene with Vray fur
I have to say one thing!
Rally nice tool to work with!
Made a few "longhair" carpets, and the result are very good, render out very quick to!
Here in this scene there are about 400 000 "hairs".
Vray Sun/sky as a light source.
Rendertime: 4m 16 sek. (not very high quality though.)
Mac Pro Quadcore 2.66Ghz, 3 GB DDR3 RAM

Is it only possible to assign one material to both the fur and mesh?

Fun stuff though, it's nice to make grass this way over displacement. Thanks V-Ray devs (again!)

[vladimir.nedev]

The latest nightly builds give you the ability to assign a material to the fur. You can still leave it without a material, in which case the material of the underlying mesh will be used. That can be convenient if you want different materials for hairs based on what face they grew on.

a quick start with Vray fur. It would be great to be able to control base and tip size

[vladimir.nedev]

You can try Maya hair rendering in V-Ray in tomorrow's nightly build ( 2010-02-18 ). It is not completely finished ( for example motion blur is not supported yet). But it should be usable.

great !

[snivlem]

V-Ray is steaming ahead!

[vlado]

It would be great to be able to control base and tip size

You can use the "Taper" parameter to control the tip thickness relative to the base.
