How To get Un Transparent Hair in Open GL Render?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Whenever I use Open GL for rendering it renders the hair as transparant on a lot of newer hair models. I prefer using Open GL because its faster and suits my needs. Iray and the other one take far too long for what I use Daz for and I don't need high quality looks, I just need the hair to show up.

Any ideas of how to pull this off?

    As far as I know the only option would be to remove the opacity maps and have the Opacity on 100% - you might, with a bit of fiddling, keep the map on the top layer as long as it didn't overlap itself and didn't cuase problems with haloing.

    Could you please go into a bit more detail about this step? I was looking around and the only options I saw was Opacity cutout and its already set to max. I'm a bit loss witht he surface tab. Thanks.

    Ah, if it's using the Iray shader then it's Cutout Opacity, yes. It will have a map attached (otherwise it would solid) - click the micro thumbnail beside the value bar and from the menu select None. Whether the result is usable will depend on the hair.

    I save my OpenGL renders as PNGs to keep the transparency. Then I fix the hair transparency with an image editor by adding a layer as backround and fill it with some hair color.

    Try "intermediate opengl" with at least 4 light passes under advanced settings for that selection.
    Not as fast as open gl but it fixes my prolems w/ hair cause I do dumb animations with my garbage renders.
    But its faster than Iray and 3ddelight not as pretty but... I like the look of open gl and the speed.
    Tacos. Have a great dane :)
