I just bought the dForce Hair for Big Cat 2 - I loaded the ordinary Lioness actor added the
Oso material and tried to simulate with D-force but gota a notice "No object to simulate"
So what is the DForce with this product?
 

I am not supposed to load a LAMH or Catalyzer actor? am i!

    What version of DS do you use? The new dForce hair features were introduced in 4.11.

    You need to use 4.11 - if you don't currently want to change the General Reelase version install the Public beta instead (currently they are the same).

    I am in the middle of something else I'd check to be sure, but ... I seem to recall there is a hair 'object/itrem' that needs adding, NOT just the textures for that. Unless that gets added there won't be a dFiorce item in the scene.

    I Load the Big cat - I add the OSO fur texture file-I click on simulate
    Nothing happens- Even after adding the OSO there is nothing
    resembling any fur on the cat to begin with!

    and render. 

    I don't see the hair results until I render

    When I load the actual hair/fur object I see the 'guide hairs', but as you say don't see the actual hair until I render (and if I simulate before I render I see neither cat nor hair ... bug report in and accepted)

    I finaly found the Fur under hair menu in smart content - But as soon as i start the Render my Computer totally Freezes. 
    Even the clock stopps! what wrong with this product?

    Strand based hair requires that a lot of data be trasnferred to Iray - across the PCIe lanes if you ar eusing the GPU. That does tend to freeze, or at least slow, the system for a bit. Depending on the specifications you may need to let it sit for a while. Strand based hair is quite slow to render too, as you may already be aware from sets that used baked strands from other applications (e.g. some of Neftis' recent hairs).
