Merci Guillaume – et
Guy! I guess I missed the post a few weeks back then. I’ll try to bribe our
programmer now ;-)

Subject: Re: Hair pre-processing
I ask for something similar some weeks ago. Here is
Guy Rabiller answer :
Afaik you'll have to write
your own shader for this.
Then a geometry shader to import back the hairs.
The added benefit is that you can finely control how they are imported,
you can adjust the width along the strand with a curve for instance, the
interpolation, etc..

So if think the answer is positive only if someone in your studio know those
things and is available...

Is there any way to cache the 'hair pre-processing'
and 'hair generation boxes' when previewing/rendering ?
I have 15 hair objects with a fair amount on each of
them and they're all static – no dynamics. It takes a pretty long time doing
the pre-process. I have 4 passes in the scene so logically I should be able to
process the scene once so the other passes can read from the cache instead of
re-reprocessing everything.
Is there any way to do this ?
