Vray Hair Next texture

[lewis chan]

When plug the texture to the Hair next mtl diffuse shot and set diffuse amount to 1(second image) , it look like the flat tube in hair strand. Is it correct?

This is the correct behavior for now. Use the diffuse color for materials made out of cloth threads or other non-translucent fibers, as well as for dirty hair. Perhaps if you like to have the shading effects of the default VRayHairNextMtl, you should use less of the diffuse amount and blend your texture.

Thanks for reply.

VRayHairNextMtl only show reflection and specular in render elements, no diffuse, lighting, GI contribution. Is it correct?

[kalin.milenkov]

Yes, it is correct.
The VRayHairNextMtl is originally composited as:
Specular + Reflection


Although 'V-Ray Next for Maya, update 1' introduces the 'Consistent lightning elements' rendering option (||Render Settings window|| > Overrides tab > Rendering rollout).
With 'Consistent lightning elements' enabled the VRayHairNextMtl is composited as:
Specular + Lighting + GI
