  • Display Tag and HAIR??

    Posted by Darren Kunkel on September 10, 2009 at 12:18 am

    Guys-
    I can animate a Display Tag to work great on EVERY primitive, nurb, etc. EXCEPT a HAIR Object.
    When I scrub through the timeline after applying a Display Tag to Hair, I DO see the results I’m looking for, but it’s lost in the Render somehow. Assuming a RENDER setting I’m rediculously overlooking?

    I really can’t figure this one out…sorry to bug you guys.

    -Darren

    You see the guides scrubbing though the interface render but the hairs in a render and it’s a post effect so the tag won’t work. If you are using the display tag to animate visibility try animating the Transparency in the Hair Material

    Thanks Brian….sorry for the late reply.
    I’ll give that a whirl…just didn’t understand why it wouldn’t work.
