Character displacement with "Hair and Fur"

[jp3d81]

Hi,

i want to animate a 3d wolf for a no budget movie.

I am using 3ds maxs "Hair and fur" for the fur of a wolf. But i am also using vray displacement on the character with the fur.

Problem: The hair is not displaced with the model. It leaves its position on the lowpoly. If i try to use higher polymeshes Hair and fur is getting
slow and unusable.

I don´t have money to buy a good hairplugin, so i have to use "Hair and Fur".
I played around with the displacementslot in the Hair and fur modifier, but its not working good.

Can anybody help?

Does the hair&fur modifier have some option for a displacement map? I thought I saw something like this before...

Best regards,
Vlado

Hi,
yes, i think it´s just displacing the low Polymesh and it doesn´t seam to work right with 32bit displacmentmaps.

Thanks,
Jan

Yeah, standard displacement modifier in Max also doesn´t like 32 bit files and hair&fur is probably the same. Just work around it and also create 16 bit displacementfiles for the hair displacement...
