Hair not rendering properly

JustBirch

Hey there - brand new to Daz Studio. Running into some issues rendering hair on a character I'm making. I'm using Super Messy Updo Hair for Genesis 3 and 8. But I cannot get it to render realistically like the product renders show. Instead I get a less detailed, plastic looking rendering. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can offer!

Are you rendering with Iray or 3Delight? The hair has only Iray materials, so if you are using 3Delight you will probably need to manually edit the materials or use one of the sets of alterntaive hair sahders that support 3Delight.

A lot of OOT’s hairs also have a base Iray material that you need to apply first before selecting the colour. You should find in the the mats folder for the hair in the content library.

Thanks for the replies!

Yes, I'm rendering with Iray and I thought I applied the base material first but apparently I applied the Genesis 3 version instead of the Genesis 8 version. With the right base material, it's now rendering as intended. Thanks!
