So cool ! MassFX with deformations ! That mean we can now have skinned characters interacting with ornatrix hair, Am i right ?

thank you so much for this great improvement !

I have just a problem: download links are not available at this time... Maybe later today...

See you !

Marsel, Thanks again for the constant updates and all your and your team's hard work!

Just a few points to throw out there,

1 -Regarding MassFx, since it was mentioned, it is in itself a flawed system, this has nothing to do with ornatrix, when it comes to production characters and hair (especially long or mid length) generally speaking unless it is a very specific less complicated situation, mass fx has yet to deliver a stable and somewhat predictable result(s), we use cloth here instead, and even with the more stable solutions of cloth based dynamics we find ourselves constantly running into issues on more complicated setups, I guess the best solution while understandably demands more time to implement, is to have a unique ornatrix dynamic system in the future built specifically for hair :), this in combination with cloth driven hair in certain cases such as braids, or tied hair, would be an ideal system.

2 - Having mentioned cloth above is it possible to include "radius" and "Width" parameters for mesh for strands flat billboard and prismatic options respectively, not sure if this was implemented in later versions since i'm still using version 3.1.0.8 and i can't find these parameters in the stack, this would help setup cloth sims better without altering the width manually over the mesh.

3 - This last bit i guess may require coordination with Chaosgroup guys, It will be great to havea shader map for ornatrix fully compatible with vray hair shader to allow for quick setups of "hue color variations" as well as tip to root color variations? since currently its a lot of guesswork and constant renders with long custom setups with gradients and noise maps just to get the basics working.

Take care,

Thank you Marsel for the quck reply,

2 - Yes I stand corrected render settings below Ox mesh strands does the trick.

3 - I just recently did a quick test with Ox hair map again with the latest vray nightly build, seems to me that the hue variation is working but the tip and root are not, but this may not be a big issues  now since i can combine vray hair map with OX to get the tip root working while OX map will provide variation, I'm not sure if all this is stable yet since just a  few versions back of vray 3 i couldn't use this map at all, they may have made some recent changes, plus need to see this with moving hair and animation renders on more scenes to verify.

Thanks again though for the tip it is well noted this time.

Take care.
