V-Ray Future Hair/Fur Plans?

I have been giving the V-Ray demo a go for a while now (for Maya) and I have to say I love it. I do have a concern though, and I am sure you have hundreds of people asking about this. I am curios to know the time-line and or possible plans for Maya Hair/Fur support within a reasonable amount of time. This is a major aspect for me, and it would be comforting that It is in development before purchasing.

Thank you,

Robert

Yep, we are working on that.

Hi Vlado, are you able to tell us if it will be integrated into Maya’s Fur system or will it be part of the shader (aka VrayFur shader?)

Thanks.

We plan to have both; VRayFur is a simple and effective tool in many cases; for character design obviously the Maya hair and fur tools are superior.

Best regards,
Vlado

Thanks!

I love ChaosGroup. :sweat_smile:

vlado, will that be soon? when can we expect it?

cheers

Hope you guys will make this avaible soon! (Maybe a nice present for christmas?) :roll_eyes:

Be great to have Shave and Haircut support for the ultimate hair system!

vote for shave n haircut too!

Hey Chaosgroup,

Any updates on hair support? My finger is literally hovering over the buy button. Hair/Fur is critical for me at this point.

Thanks guys,

Robert

We have already implemented an initial version of VRayFur; will be working on the Maya hair/fur next.

is this initial vrayfur feature in the nightlies? :smile:

Yes, it’s there.

Best regards,
Vlado

YES! downloading now

Excellent! looking forward to playing with it this weekend.

Btw, is it possible to get a password for the release log rars? I’m often downloading the whole package just to see what’s new, would be nice to avoid that / take the strain off your servers.

Works really well and is incredibly fast! 10000 hairs on one face rendered at under 10 minutes on a Macbook.

Nice! What a treat!

For those with nightly builds…:frowning:

It’s really great, very impressed so far.

Even the Donut Man loves it!

It should be the same as for the builds themselves.

Best regards,
Vlado
