  Things are getting Hairy!

  Posted by Glenn Takakjian on October 15, 2007 at 9:16 pm

  It would seem that Hair objects are not effected by Visibility tags in there default GENERATE mode. If you change the GENERATE option to the other types like flat, triangle, square, etc. the visibility function works but the hair material looks completely different.

  Is there a way to get the hair to dissolve /fade out and still maintain its proper appearance? Thanks

  TAK

  It can be done in the settings for the Hair material. Animate the Transparency channel, the trick is to bring Reflectiveness and Translucence in the Illumination tab to 0 as well or it won’t actually disappear.

  Thanks… that did the trick.

  Sometimes I wish things were just a little easier!
