I was mucking around in Poser (pro pack) when I thought I would play around with the 'HAIR' generation thing. Well, it's pretty basic, and I won't really be using it but when I tried to render it, it wouldn't. It only rendered in the sketch render. Anyone know why?

The P4 renderer doesn't have the capability of displaying geometry extruded in such a fashion.

Thought it wasn't supported. Thanks Ynsaen! Do I remember rightly, that when CL bought Poser they didn't know about HAIR until someone from Renderosity told them?

It's my understanding that HAIR produces lines, not faces so there is nothing there to render. I have a program that will convert a HAIR produced object into a real live renderable mesh, or spheres.
Found it... DropMaker, my computer barely ran Poser when I got this, might be worth another look.
For those who don't know, just select an object and type in " HAIR ". Don't ask me what to do next, I never really used it. Just checked to make sure thats how it work, got about 8 great ideas from a furry ball.

"Do I remember rightly, that when CL bought Poser they didn't know about HAIR until someone from Renderosity told them?" The original functionwas added into the code in Poser 4 during the metacreations days. Since CL was comprised of prinicpally the same folks who did that work, it's sorta hard to think of them not knowing about something they added. However, this was not something that had been developed out yet, and it's possible the original roadmap was lost. However: The Community itself didn't know about this feature until it was explored and partially exploited by the above tool and its' creator.

Also, note that Dynamic hair was developed out from that feature. (and reference other posts herein regarding the hair room)

Doesn't Masa's "furfur" work with that hair command?

Just checked my link. Doesn't work. So much for being fancy. http://www.eurus.dti.ne.jp/~masasi/ here's the link to masa's site where I got FurFur.
