Problems with hair

IndieComicGuy

Hi everyone! I hope you can lend me some insight to let me know if I am doing some wrong, and maybe steps towards fixing it.

Because of the limitations of my computer, I don't work a lot in Iray, and spend most of my time using the Texture Shaded drawstyle. But whenever I choose most hair options, even if it looks great in Iray, it looks really wonky when it's viewed as Texture Shaded. There seem to be transparency/translucency issues. Shouldn't hair work in Texture Shaded? Is this common? Can I do something to fix it?

Thank you in advance to any help you can offer!

If it's not looking great as texture shaded in the Viewport, that's kind of normal. Layers of translucent stuff makes for more complicated math, so it often looks messed up.

Some vendors will provide a "Posing material" so that you can pose the hair without the transparency being a problem. Sometimes, I'll just remove the Opacity map so I can be more precise in posing the hair pieces.

You're not going to get perfect in a Texture Shaded view, so don't worry too much about it, IMO. Remove the transparency if you need accurate hair posing, but don't worry about it otherwise, IMO.
