Does that mean that the vray fur will become redundant now that max hair and fur is supported ? or is it still a lot quicker to render ?

[vlado]

I haven't really done any direct comparisons yet, so I'm not sure which takes less time/RAM.

Best regards,
Vlado

Great and big thanks to you and your team @ Chaossoftware, Vlado.

Tell me, please, what are the features / bug-fixes / improvements coming along with SP3a compared to SP3 ?

[etown]

Can't seem to download for sp3 for 2010, both 32bit and 64bit won't download any data. Just an empty .exe. Any ideas?

Yep, I noticed this; can't do much about it myself though - it will have to wait until tomorrow.

[Da_elf]

is there something that changed in max's code for 2010 for hair that there is only hair support for that version and not earlier ones?

[vlado]

There simply isn't an SDK for the hair for previous versions so there is no access to the hair information.

Best regards,
Vlado

[Da_elf]

oooooo. well that totally sucks

[bluescreen2]

any news about max2010 design & hair?
