Hair Farm vs Vray hair

#1

i’m looking at solutions for doing hair in max. it looks like hairfarm gives a lot of control but i know that Vray has it’s own Hair & fur solution.

is the Vray hair any good? how are the controls for styling?

or for that matter how good is hair farm?

Not quite.

Vray only contains a hair shader, called VrayHairMtl. You still need some means of creating the hair objects (they’re actually more like hair gizmos that define for the shader where to render the hair effect), such as Max’s built-in Hair and Fur plugin, or Ornatrix, HairFX, Hair Farm etc.

EDIT: My colleague tells me there is a VrayFur object, but I never used it so can’t say anything about it.
