Fur not working?

[bumba]

Hi,
I am trying to get fur to work and I tried a simple test scene with a pighead easy and attached fur via the "Add Fur" shelve button.
The pig renders in vray without the fur.

The mantra rop version works fine.

I am not allowed to attach hiplc files, so I packed it into a rar.
I tried a few Houdini versions. But the attached test was Houdini 19.0.455.

Well, a really simple example scene would be helpful.

I tried to follow the setup outlined in:

but there is not much to see except that it is working.

THX in advance.

Hey bumba ,

All 3-rd party render engines in Houdini need the Generate option to be set to "Use SOP Geometry" - the default is "Generate in Mantra" which will produce the hair on the fly.



With Houdini 19.5, SideFX added a Hair Procedural in Solaris that is open to all integrations so you could give that a shot if you don't want to cache the hairs to e.g. alembics. This procedural will work with V-Ray and generate hair geometry on the fly.

Best regards!
