dForce Strand Hair Dire Wolf - What am I doing Wrong? SOLVED

When I first got the Dire Wolf, I had a lot of fun with it. At first I was thrown by the lack of being able to 'see' the fur, but it showed up when I rendered in Iray.

Now it seems to only render the guide hairs or something. It's really thin!

Here's how it looked when it worked, and I love it.

    It would help if you showed what it looks like now.

    My problem with this product was that the main body dforce Hair does not actually simulate: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/8053131/#Comment_8053131

    Perhaps if you showed your parameters setting for the hairs, it might help. You may not have the PR hairs on.

    As for seeing the hair in viewport, you have to turn on Preview PR Hairs and set Viewport Line Tessellation Sides to 2 at least. But this is not suggested since it will consume much system resources.

    As for having more 'thicker hair' on the wolf, you may set Render Line Tessellation Sides to 2 or 3. Normally 1 is good for a quick rendering...

    Thanks all.

    Yeah, I don't really mind not seeing it in the view port.

    Does it come with visible fur in the default load-in, or do I have to mess with the parameters?

    Wow. So I think I may have done too much stuff in Studio before trying him again. When my other render sequence was finished, I restarted DS and... Bam!!!

    Beautiful, Beautiful Dire Wolf! Love this amazing character!!!

    Very! I really need Dire Wolf in the "Rosie and the Winter Wolf" scenes or the title makes little sense! :)

    So, I'm rendering away, matching his actions to hers, and this song comes on Alexa... so cool!!!

    Alexa, play Winery Dogs! yes

    My brother took me to a Winery Dogs concert for my birthday this year. I can't believe I've never heard of them. These are my heroes of Rock!
