Vue 6 Xstream and Hair

[Srek]

Hair uses a CINEMA 4D specific rendering method by default. Only by switching the Hair object to generate geometry you will be able to render it in other renderers that don't support hair renderin (afaik currently no external renderer supports it).

Srek gave you the answer , hair can only be rendered within Cinema.

Why don't you try to render the Vue scene withing cinema. ??
I mean: import the vue scene to cinema 4D then use the hair. but you need the plug in which make the connection between the two softwares.

Thanks for the reply I feared that would be the case.I guess as I understood it Vue and Cinema's render engines worked together i guess not as well as i had hoped.

So could I Render the scene without hair using xstream and vue then come back and render only the hair using cinema and then composit those together, not ideal but it could work that way right?

Of course you can.
but in this case the main problem would be LIGHT.( or environment )
try to keep the same lightening within the two scenes to conserve the same ambience.

if you wanna render what you want with cinema 4d, just learn more about the multi pass rendering, cause hair is like a post effect i think it can be rendered on a pass?!

Correct, and you can also render an alpha for it.

using multipass what options do I need just for hair i'd like that to be the only thing I have to composite.
I know there is the composite tag do i use it and turn off everything else or can mutlipass just render the posteffects only? If that makes sense and thank for all your help everyone.
