hair looks like salt and pepper lines

hey sorry if this is the wrong place but i need help, havent used daz studio since daz 2 so alot has changed. 

downloaded roxi hair for genesis 8, loaded in genesis, added the hair and it looks like a bunch of white and black thin lines, apparently its called stranded hair (i think) and when rendering it looks just as bad if not worse as seen in this pic, any help would be wonderful.

    Look if the textures and shaders have applied to it correctly.

    Is that a render or preview? It says rnder on the title but the skin looks more like a preview.

    This hair? https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-roxi-hair-for-genesis-8-females

    With the default parameter setup, such a hair will be fully shown only when you render it. You may select the sub node under the hair (named Roxi Hair SHS) and turn on the parameter 'Preview PR Hairs', then see if preview result is normal or not.

    I tested the result, it seems there's no problem when previewing or rendering. Only some glossy or top coat related parameters need to be tweaked a bit. What graphics card do you use?

    Okay, I'm afraind this hair cannot be well rendered with Iray engine if you use your Laptop core graphics card. It must be an Intel or AMD one. Yeah, need to wait for your new PC onboard~~

  • yea definately waiting on my new pc as it will have a gtx1070 , 32gb of ram and a amd 2700 8 core processor, it took 8 hours to finally render her. properly so i'm hoping it only takes a few min on the new system
