Hello I wonder if anybody is using hair farm with octane render?

As I don't want to buy it and find out that it does not work with octane render?

I've sent the manufacturers an email I'm waiting for a reply.

But I thought I would just drop a note into the forum just to see if anybody is you using it.

Thank you I will wait for your reply

i will try for you tomorrow

Hi Chopper..it KINDA works .

It works only if you after modeling/grooming etc..you apply an HairtoPoly WSM Modifier at the top of the stack...of course u have to be careful with with your Card's RAM Limit.

Hairfarm Material does not work though...

hi guys i got email back from hair-farm thanks for you replies

Their answer was this



Thank you for your interest in Hair Farm. Your character work is really impressive. It seems like you would certainly benefit from a powerful hair tool like Hair Farm.

Octane does not have direct support for Hair Farm, but you can export hair data from Hair Farm as a spline object or poly object and render using octane. In particular, you can use one of the hair conversion (HairTo) modifiers (HairTo Splines), HairTo Poly, HairTo PolyStrips, or HairTo Instances) or utilities (Hair to Spline Object or Hair to Poly Object). All of these would convert hair strands to a standard object format of 3ds Max, so you can use any tool to export the data..

Also, you can contact octane developers and ask them to provide support for Hair Farm. We have an SDK for renderer developers and it should be quite easy for them to support Hair Farm. This is indeed how V-Ray and Maxwell Render supports Hair Farm.

so they are quite happy to give Hair Farm. support to OTOY and SDK for renderer developers let see if we can get OTOY make this happen for MAX?

that would be AWESOME!

I also wrote to the team (hair-farm) 8 months earlier

Oh my, that looks incredible already!

ch0pper, thank you, very impressive!

They should do the same for FumeFX

I also really like the Octane had support Hair and Fur 3ds Max plugin or some hair, sure the staff will work on it soon.
