Re: hair appearance; 5.xx and 6.xx

MR is a bit different in v6 vs. v5.  Some of Holger's shaders in his shader collection had to be adjusted to compensate.  Maybe the muhair shader needs some updating as well.

Argh! We had to switch from 5.11 to 6.01 and I now have the same issue!
My hair were just fine in 5.11 and now looks fluffy and more
transparent!
What I don't understand is that I use muhair so does it mean Mental Ray
does something different?!

You're right, it's way different. I can see how it might look better for
hair but for bird feathering it's lost that softness that works so well.
Looks awful. Oh well.

Yes, there is a difference.
When taking our Bell Beavers inside 6.01, we noticed they looked
    

better
  

and they took less time to render. Also, rasterizer doesn't seem to be
a very good alternative anymore. I haven't done many tests.

Has anyone noticed differences in the rendering of hair between 5
      

and
  

6? I'm
    

seeing a huge difference in a scene from a while back and I'm trying
      

to work
    

out if it's the scene or mental ray/xsi.
