vray hair shader?

Thanks. Is it also possible to have different render settings for the hair? For example rendering everything else with DMC max samples set to 25 and primary GI set to brute force, but the hair set to 4 max samples and GI set to photon map?

Unfortunately not. Per-object AA sampling is something that will be implemented a bit later on.

Best regards,

Yeah, you’re right. Have you tried my shave multimatte generator script from the other hair thread? I haven’t tested it with hair3, but it should still work.

We did test that and found that the multi-matte looked different. It seemed to be creating shadows from the hair onto the matte or something. I have not had time to really track down what the exact error was.

EDIT: I have attched a pic that shows what is going on. On the left is the multimatte generated from Shave hair, on the right the same with the vrayMtlHair3

Of course we still have to fix the material ID for the hair 3 material… I see it’s already been posted

Is it possible to update this without doing a complete reinstall?

It mightbe possible but it depends on your particular set up and the OS you are using.
