Particules / Hair - V-ray 2.20.01

[ArnaudT]

Hello,

I'm a french Blender user and i bought the Vray Standalone 2.20.01

And this release "bring new Hair & Fur capabilities" > http://vray.info/news/article.asp?ID=520

BUT : a simple plan with Hair particle dont show in render... I have only the plan...

Is this normal ?

Before, i was use the Standalone 2.00 and i didn't have this problem...

Hi ArnaudT

It should work but i've just experiment some problem with it (first, try to update your exporter from the render panel)
Here particule are rendered but animation (or render another frame than frame n°1) always render the states of particles at frame 1.
Is it normal?

I believe that bdancer is already working on.

Any news on hair particle support?

Edit :
A screen is better :
From left ro right : Frame 30; frame 0; VrayRender frame 30

I use the V-Ray/Blender Custom Build : "vrayblender-2.61-43742-windows-x86_64.exe".

I had uninstall V-ray 2.20.01, and re-install it, but i have the same problem.


Particles dont show in render... I don't know what is the problem...

Help please !!!

If you read that bdancer, could you answer us about the particle hair support?

- Why particle doesn't appear in render (in Vray 2.20 i believe)
- Why Vray only use the "basis state" of the particle on every frame?

Thank's !

Edit : ArnaudT : Do you have uncheck the "hair" box under render panel>Exporter (normally checked by default).

Yes, the "Hair" box in render panel is on.

Ok, Thanks ArnaudT. Hope it could resolve the physic (animation) problem too.

Re: Particules / Hair - V-ray 2.20.01

I've just found a way to fixe particule animation for Vray (thanks to blender community ! ).

It's a bit tricky, but it works. We juste have to instance a mesh on the hair particules system (with the particule instance modifier).
Of course, you don't render particule with this technique, but instanced geometrie. Works fine for me, but can be useless for other work.

Edit : Ofc, it solve your problem ArnaudT; waiting for the Vray/blender particule Update
