Anyone have suggestions for pumping up transmapped hair in the material room? Got quite a few hair props that are great, but don't really render as well as I would like... especially when you start adding IBL, Real Skin shaders, etc into the mix. So... anyone have any tips or tricks that they use?

Reduce the min shade rate, on the prop or fig., and in the render settings

I've been resizing the big hair texs and Trans to 50%(in paint and saving under new name). Some hairs only have 1 or 2 zones so, no big deal. This way you can leave shading rate at default. Big power savings, renders much faster and looks so much better.

Connect the texture map to displacement at a very low value, 0.001 or so. Breaks up the smoothness.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter

play with the specular some to get real highlights rather than just painted.

Thanks for these suggestions, playing with them all.

In the attached link, take a look at the first post. If that's what you're aiming for, see post 7.

Thank you PabloS, that is what I am aiming for.... darn, and I read this way back when too, just forgot all about it.

If the hair doesn't have hilights on the texture you might try playing with an anistriopic specular node.
