I loaded a Figure I had made in Poser and loaded it in Vue PLE.

The hair looked very poor after a render. Nothing like how it looked in poser.

Am I doing some thing wrong? Or does Vue's support of Poser strand hair not very good?

Any help or information would be wonderful.

Thank you for your time.

Hmmm...
Second option, I'm afraid.

Probably the biggest issue with strand based Poser hair is that aside from the guide hairs it isn't actual geometry, but a runtime effect generated at rendertime. Vue's renderer and Poser's is enough different that -at the moment- you can't get identical results. You can improve the results by tweaking the Vue material settings for the hair pieces until it looks the best. The darker hair colors tend to look better; so far no one has worked out a Vue specific shader for the strand based hair, and the brighter the hair color the more visible the stranding becomes. Maybe in time this will be corrected by one of the parties....

I've been emailed by E-on they were still working on Poser fixes and that an update will be released before the end of the week. Hope it will help.

**Alot of hairs don't look too good in Vue, having AA as high a setting as you can get will improve things though. I find that FK Designs hair are some of the best to be used in Vue, doesn't take as long to render as some hairs & with good AA settings it can look good. This is an example from an old picture of mine.**

Good work here stormchaser!

For my part, i've still problem importing some transmap hair...

That DOES look very nice.

Can you please tell me what AA is? I tried to find it but I couldn't

Thank you for your time :D

Tagavoga - AA is anti-aliasing. The higher the setting, the less jaggies you'll get on your objects etc. This is really important for hair if you want it to look good because a low setting won't produce the look of fine strand hair. When rendering, try to use user setting so you can control the amount of AA you use. I tend to have it high, min 25 -  max 50,  quality threshold 100%. This is for the hair, you probably won't need it this high for other things. Granted, render times will be high.

Thank you very much. I am useing AA right now.

The results are better but not all that great.

Perhaps it is VUE'a lack of voulume metric lighting.

Who knows..

Anyway Thanks again.

Any word on that update?

Also, will turning on the Use Poser Shader option when importing a poser object improve the quality of the render of strand based hair on Vue?

Thank you but I do not belive that will work. Tried it just now. :(

The Poser Shader Option?

Bugger! :(
