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

["Marc-Andre Carbonneau" <marc-andre.carbonneau(at)ubisoft.com>]

If Daniel (Rind) is still reading this list, perhaps you could have a quick look? (if you have the time)

 

I’ve increased the size of the hair and also decreased the transparency a little. Seems better but not quite what I was getting in 5.11.

I’ll fiddle some more see what I can come up with.

Thanks

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.

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.
