dForce Hair not appearing in Iray

Hi all,

I'm running into an issue where, as the title would indicate, dForce hair doesn't render in Iray. I've attached an image of the model, which is a Genesis 8 base.

I have been able to load in and work with dForce clothing, so I know it's not something with my computer unable to handle it. It doesn't matter if it is pre- or post-simulation, and I've made sure it's visible in simulation and renders. I have two dForce hair files, and both come up with the same issue. Oddly enough, dForce hair does come up on a Genesis 8 model.

Is there something I'm missing that comes to mind? My first thought was a missing file so I've tried to reinstall, but get the same results. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

    Dforce hair won't render in Iray preview, it only shows up in a full render.

    Interesting - I'm able to get another dForce hair to appear on a female. Is it something different about the one I'm using in this screenshot that allows it?

    Thanks in advance!

    That second hair is not fiber hair like the first one. It's transmapped planes that use the dforce cloth engine to simulate it. Two different types of hair that are named very similarly and thus causes alot of confusion.

    Ahh, got it. Thanks for the help, that one has been driving me nuts today. :)

    dForce strand based hair will absolutely show in the iray preview window.  You just have to set the PS and PR hairs to at least 2 in the surface pane, and make sure you don't have the geometry editor tool selected.

    This is after the fact, but I found this page searching for a solution to this problem. In my case, the culprit was having the Mesh Grabber tool active. All dForce hair disappeared in previews and renders until I changed tools and discovered the behavior by accident. Just an FYI in case someone else lands here looking for solutions.
