saving hair

[tbenefi33]

I must be missing something when I duplicate hair or insert hair emitter say 20 or so and I then save model file and then the project when I open the project later on all the hair that put in there is not there except for one hair system is there something I do in the option to where it will save more then one hair system ?

Is this on a model that is perhaps not embedded in the PRJ you are saving?

[tbenefi33]

I'll check the embedded out

 

the last one is when I reopen A:M and all the hair gone except for one

the first screencap shows us looking at the "shortcut to" the hair material.

 

Are the extra emitters in the original material or were they added somehow in the model?

[tbenefi33]

They where added by the Insert Hair Emitter.

They where added by the Insert Hair Emitter.

 

You must use "insert emitter" in the hair material, and then save the hair material. Do not "insert emitter" in the instance of the hair material in the model. I'm guessing that's probably what you did.

 

I also have to question why you are using so many emitters? My guess is that you can get away with 2-3 if you are trying to have them be different lengths?, thickness? color?

Yes that what I doing putting it in the model part, I done what you said and put in the hair material and saved it. It worked thank you Nancy and robocat
