I just started to use the hair material from the RC-1 daily build, and when I apply the material to a simple Ornatrix hair ball, I don't see something that I would expect to see. Do I need to change any of the default settings on the material to get it looking good?

The hair strands may be too thick. You may need to tune the Ornatrix render settings modifier.

I agree that CoronaHairMtl , by default, doesn't look very good.
you need to "play" with settings to obtain something good.
This is my test. sorry for the quality, but I'm not a 3D hairstylist ))

Actually, I found HairMTL looking pretty great by default. As for the issue above, hard to tell... Maybe some fakery in the scene setup. I would try to merge the sphere into new, empty scene lit by just one CoronaLight and see if it looks equally as bad. If it does, then perhaps there's some issue with the hair itself... Thickness, or maybe inverted normals of the source mesh?
