Hello,

How does Octane work with 3dsmax standard Hair and Fur ? I have tired it appy it to a sphere nothing shows up in Octane view port?

Thanks

ok I got it working by turning on hair geometry option, but how do you render out just the hair pass with a matte shadow shader ?( if there is one ?)

Thanks

i have this problem on the octane render setting there is no hair geometry option button so how can we do this ?

The show geometry is in the hair modifier panel right down at the bottom in the display section.

Doesn't work for me though.

Only way I could get hair showing is to use the convert to mesh button in the tools section.
Which is pretty bloody useless as the massive meshes end up using all the v ram.

And the hair mesh is no longer editable in the hair modifier.
