1.7 - Hair shader playground and feedback

[Bigguns]

Converted my hairfarm daniel craig haircut to Ornatrix yesterday while learning ornatrix and rendered it with my latest set up of my corona hair shader .

Hope you like it ^^

[Fluss]

Nice ! Still with custom glints ?

[Bigguns]

yes and I have a new idea wich I think will improve it even more.. just need to test it ..

[Bigguns]

Hi there, some more test . The haircut is from Tarkan Sarim , he sent me the splines and I transferred to ornatrix it was originally done in Xgen.

Hope you like it

Is that He-Man or some lady from German olympics representation?

[Bigguns]

lol it's not a lady for sure and I don't think it's he-man either lol he just did it for testing haircut in xgen I think

[pokoy]

Great looking results! Many thanks for posting these and testing it extensively!

Now when Corona Team has access to Chaos Group knoledge base, is there a chance that CoronaHair can be made fully functional with 3ds max H&F in the future?

Now when Corona Team has access to Chaos Group knoledge base, is there a chance that CoronaHair can be made fully functional with 3ds max H&F in the future?

which aspect of the 3dsmax h&f is not working? It now works in interactive, and we already consulted about the memory leak problem - we made it smaller, but there is a bug in 3dsmax implementation that makes it impossible for us not to leak at least some memory every time we render it.

[romullus]

CoronaHair is not mappable in combination with H&F. Or should i say UV coordinates are not transfering from H&F to CoronaHair.

[Ondra]

is it on mantis? I can explore that, but I think AD already said it is a known bug

[romullus]

No, it's not on mantis yet. I'll create report later.

I remember when you've said it's autodesk's fault, i just thought that someone from Chaos may share a secret how they managed to make work V-ray with H&F :]

BTW, if it's autodesk bug, does that mean that it will work in later max versions? Maybe it's already working in max2017-18? Anyone can check that?

[TomG]

I haven't found it to be working in 2017 with Corona hair mtl, though I am not that familiar with Max hair and fur yet so maybe I missed a setting someplace, will try to do some more testing and see!

[maru]

One issue with Max H&F I am aware of is that the base object is not rendered. It's already logged in our internal task tracker.

[romullus]

That's not always an issue, since hair guides usually are grown from low-poly version of base object and it has to be made non renderable anyway :]
