dforce Hair Mat help

fastbike1

I know the issue has been discussed, but I can't find the answer/settings after much searching.

When I use a dForce hair (at least any from AprilYSH or Chevybabe25), I can't get any color except black (default) in an Iray render. This issue doesn't occur w/ "normal" hair items. I get the render just fine except the hair is always black. The dForce simulations work fine as well.

Windows 10, Studio Pro Beta 4.15.1.91, Nvidia Studio driver 471.68. RTX 2080Super.

What have I miseed? TIA.

What are you selecting when you apply the presets? Is the preview changing, just not the render?

@fastbike1 -  Have you solved the problem yet?

Richard: I have selected the hair or the cap. The texture shaded preview shows an approximation of the correct color. The Iray preview and the Iray render show black.

chevybabe25: No I have not solved the problem. It is possible that the problems has occurred with the beta 4.15.1.91. I also went to a later Nvidia driver to meet the minimum requirement. I'll check the current release, then rollback the driver.

Several people have reported issues with the dual-lobe  hair shader in the beta. Does it render correctly in the general release?

Yes, I was just about to update my reply. Geneal Release 4.15.0.30 renders correctly with all of a selection of AprilYSH and chevybabe25 dforce hairs. Beta 4.15.1.91 did render correctly with non-dForce hairs.
