Hello, I wondering if anyone could just clarify where or not Joe Alters Shave and a haircut works with the new Vray hair shader within VRay 2.0?

I’m using Shave plugin version 6.0v53

and Vray 2.10.01

Not having any luck here!:face_with_spiral_eyes:

Many thanks,

Joe

Nope, it doesn’t. I’ve contacted Joe about it since some changes to the Shave plugin are required, so we’ll get there eventually.

Best regards,

Thanks Vlado, Good to know.

Fingers crossed he makes those changes quickly.

Best,

Joe

I have a bug open with them (joealterinc) regarding this limitation. So glad both sides are working on this!
Thank you!

Has there been any progress on this? Does shave support the hair shader yet?

So we sent the updated sources to Joe; hopefully he will upload a new version of the Shave&Haircut shaders soon.

Just slipping in a quick ‘woot’ before I head over to the shave forum to harass him ;).
