The new hair Cr2's for V2 and V3 won't load visible for me. It shows the figure is there, but it's INVISIBLE. Anyone else tried it yet??

Invisible like this image? Suppose to do that. With all hair, this is how it is suppose to look. Then when you render, comes out nicely. I do not know the reason behind this.

And then after a render. Should look like this. Well...we all know that. Although I played with the bangs, a bit. :-)

Anything with a transparency map applied to it looks like this.

It's been a trend for a while now to make hair in this manor, it's to make posing and other fine adjustments easier to see where otherwise once the hair is loaded half (or all) the face becomes hidden. The only problem I have found is in poseing the feet since it casts a dark shadow, but shadows can be turned off while poseing to overcome that issue too. It does make it a bit difficult when poseing hair or if you want to 'see' the hair's texture when decieding what color to go with...but then I guess one can't have their cake and eat it too, right? Oh, and it has nothing to do with a transparancy applied, it's in the code (sorry can't think of the line at the moment)

NO - SP loads just fine - like your images, but the V2 and V3 are just not there.... I'll just delete the objects and cr2's etc and reinstall.

OHHHH, Yes, you have a problem! Like you said, delete and reinstall should fix it. You might also try rebooting or at least close and re-open Poser.

Oh, and it has nothing to do with a transparancy applied Load anything. Apply a transmap to it. It becomes invisible. That's how Poser works, doesn't it? And in the case of hair, in order to get those fine strands at the ends, you have to apply a transmap.... which makes the hair prop disappear (more or less). I dont think it has anything to do with code, it's just the way the program expresses this particular function in operation.

You can get around the transmap while posing by simply turning the transparency slider to zero in the P4 materials editor. You just have to remember to turn it back on before you render.

An invisible file usually means that you dont have the OBJ file or its in the wrong folder. There are quite a few versions of the new hair, did you download the correct one. The v3 & v2 versions of the hair is the 1st download. Hope that helps :)

I can't help noticing that your character is posed. As the Evo hair is a conforming hair, it may be there, but high above her head, about where V3's head would be when she's standing up. What happens if you try to conform it to V3?

I guess your 'koz_long_evo.rsr' was broken. Delete the 'koz_long_evo.rsr' in your Runtime:Geometries:hair directoly and reload the hair again. ( Poser 4 will generate it automatically.) If it doesn't work, may be your 'koz_long_evo.obj' was broken when you download it or extract it. Please download the zip file again and reinstall the obj file. --- Kozaburo

Working in Poser 4 for me. Sean, the hair, as many of Kozaburo's recent hairs, loads with the Display>Figure style pre set to Wireframe, overriding the document display mode. Some other makers use Cartoon mode in the same way. Both let you see the hair better than the dot cloud if you are using Smooth shaded or Texture shaded mode.

Well, I've done all the above and it still doesn't work. I might have installed the HR2 files first - so now I'm going to delete the whole thing and start again. I did go to one of the mirror sites and redownloaded the Cr2 and obj files.
