Familiar with Octane in general though.
I searched for rendering Hair tips and found some that mentioned that turning PR ON and Line thickness to 2 or above in simulation helped and YES it does.... but I also saw some mention that the plugin has some issues with even these work arounds that was core to the native code itself. Forgive me if I have this all wrong but that is the gist I got.

My situation:

I am able to render the hair on a Yeti model ONLY if I start from scratch each time. If I am successful and then save the scene and then reopen it the hair is lost even though the settings are saved in the Hair simulation settings as above.

In addition I can get the T pose saved and then rendered with volumes of hair etc ... but if i apply a pose the hair is lost upon render even with a force reload.

Does this sound like it is related to the core code issue mentioned in previous forum entries.... or something more memory related given I am successful once. I even was able to export an ORBX and the standalone can see the hair etc. But if the hair does not show in octane render view port the export to ORBX is also hairless.

Is there something crucial I am missing or is it just a hair issue.... is there a way to export JUST the hair as an OBJ ... if I un parent it it (the hair) goes back to t-Pose ... can I somehow keep the posed state and export the hair and geometry separately as OBJ etc?


Thanks


What kind of hair does the Yeti use?

If i was you .. i would try to reapply the shader on it.

But sure u can export the hair as OBJ and save it.

Not sure it is not a texture map on a mesh...but a strand.
(new to DAZ)

I know you can export OBJ but how do you stop it going back to T-Pose when you unparent it.

If you export the hair you get the body mesh too.

The file is 1.9 gigs with both.. so I am guessing each "strand" is being converted to mesh and the Hair simulation setting of 2 makes that a big mesh

Thanks for yoru fedabck

Don't unparent the hair , just make the figure and all you don't want to export "invisible" by clicking the eye button in the scene manager.
In the export window click "Ignore Invisible Nodes" and " write Polylines", now it's only exporting the hair with the right pose.

I have the same problem like you that the hair is rendering and not , my workaround is to export the hair as "Obj" and the animation as MDD.
Importing all to Cinema 4d via " Riptide Pro" as "Ngons" and saving the whole animation as "Animated ORBX". It works fine , but the files are huge , up to 30 GB a 15sec animation.

The hair looks really great and I hope Octane for Daz can handle it in near future.

Instancing of "heavily" grouped items still doesnt work. If i try those parts of the items have wrong xyz coordinates. Everything falls appart. That happens with all grouped stuff i want to instance.

Yes, instancing is not working 100% correctly. If you send me a scene which is not working right (replacing the instance source with a sphere), it may help me resolve this issue.

I'am encountering a problem with the universal material while playing and testing around. If i put the universal-material through a mix material and set the greyscale to 1 if it is in the first slot or to 0 if it is in the second slot it becomes "glowing". If i put it direct to output without a mix-material it appears as i expect it to. Is this a bug or does the mix-material some other magic to universal-materials?

Hi. I think this is an Octane issue, as I have seen a similar issue reported to OTOY. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next Octane release.

Hi. OTOY have said that this will be happening soon although there is not a release date yet.
