New Gorilla dForce Question

Prince Wao

I've not used dForce at all so far, so my question is does dForce only work with Iray or does it work with 3DL also? I can't find anything on the site that says dForce only woks with Iray.
I ask because the new Gorilla product renders fine in 3DL with LAMH hair, and fine in Iray with dForce hair, but when I render the dForce in 3DL I get what looks like a negative image regardless of which of the 3 materials I use (black, albino & silverback). I've tried twice loading 3 gorillas giving each one a different 'breed' material, but when I've done that the programme crashes

dForce hair will render in both Iray and 3Delight.

dForce itself doesn’t care if you render with Iray or 3DL, what’s important is the materials you apply to the hair.

The dForce Hair version of the gorilla probably loads with Iray settings, you’ll need to check if 3DL material presets are provided for this version.

Thanks Richard and Leana. I previously assumed dForce would work with both. Re the materials, there are both Iray and 3DL for the LAMH, but only one set for the dForce hair which doesn't state RSL or MDL - though I've just spotted that on the file path it states Iray. That's a shame as I need to add the gorilla to an already done 3DL scene, which is why I bought it, but the dForce looks a lot better than the LAMH. I'll see if I can convert the scene to Iray.

Keep in mind that you will need the newest version of DS 4.11 to use the dforce hair option

Thanks, but I already have that.
