nhair Sample Density not changing anything


#1

ok. i have used hair before nhair and I know that when I change a follicle’s Samle Density(yes I have unchecked the fixed rate box…) the behaviour of the hair changes and gives more or less details (cv) . But now nothing happens no matter what numbers I feed it. Is something wrong with nhair or is it just me missing something crucial? :banghead:
Thanks!

It is an update bug. You can either save/reload the scene after changing sample density or do “dgdirty -a”. If you do the latter hit rewind before playing back… it could crash if you do it in the middle of a simulation.

Thank you Duncan. It’s good to see you in this forum helping people out. I really appreciate it.

I don’t mean to be impolite but I have to say that sometimes working in Maya is really painful(even when you know what you’re doing) and non productive. For example this nhair bug plus some normals on a skinned model (on the same scene) that weren’t showing up and some shelves that disappeared (why is this still happening :cry: !!!) added up one day of work for trying to find what is going wrong and how to bypass the problems. Anyway…

Thanks again for you reply.
