XGen Interactive Groom

[CHawkes]

I like the look of the interactive groom tools in the new Maya 2017. I did some quick tests and noticed that the hairs do not seem to render in VRay. They are fine in Arnold and the old-style XGen.

Any ideas?
Cheers.

This is not supported yet. We'll notify you when it's implemented.

Sorry, our previous reply was a bit too hasty.

XGen groomable splines actually render fine for me and I don't see a reason they shouldn't. Can you please check if you have V-Ray selected as renderer in the description's output options and if it still doesn't render, please provide us with a sample scene and the version of V-Ray you're using.

Thanks!

I think we may be talking about different things here. XGen Groomable splines do work for me. In Maya 2017, there is a new hair definition called 'Interactive Groom'. It does not appear to have an option to select a renderer, as far as I can see.

Yes, we do not support Interactive Groom at that point, but we will in the feature.

Not yet. Support for the Interactive Groom Splines is still work in progress.
We'll post here when we have any updates.

This should be working in the latest nightlies. It would be appreciated if you can try it out and let us know if you run into any issues.
