hair problem in ver16?

[sir fen the usa]

has anyone seen a hair problem in version 16? im getting a severe crash. total freeze up.

I have been able to use the hair feature without that kind of problem...

 

Are you using a character made in previous version? Try this simple test, apply default hair to a simple sphere... see if you crash.

My simple test case works OK.

 

Post a test case that crashes and we'll have know more.

okay check this out. its a landscape and im trying to stick grass on the grass group.

i think my material has a problem? i was able to get it to kind of work but have to wait a few minutes. it still sticks and hangs. maybe i need less density?

[robcat2075]

In your material>Hair System>Realtime turn the density to something small like 1 or 2% so the real time display isn't wasting your time redrawing a lot of hairs.

 

Final render will still take a long time. You may want to turn the regular density down too.

[robcat2075]

Here's a progressive render that seems to be showing hair rendered.

 

 

 

I turned the regular density down to 50% for that.

 

If it is going to be a distant shot, some other strategy besides "hair" may get you better looking/faster grassland.

thanks,

its going to be a zoom in so im not sure if i want the hair or not. i tend to like the hair but renders may be an issue. ill have to experiment further.

what would you suggest?
