Problem

Description:

Hi.. It seems like the hair strands get a little thinner when the hair is exported as alembic and later read as a vray proxy.

We are currently increasing the width multiplier for hair in the vrayProxy to 1.8 to try and eye-match the volume of the Ornatrix Hair.

Steps to Reproduce:

Hello,

I tried to replicate this in a simple scene but it seems to match pretty closely here (see attachment). With a 1.8 multiplier the Vray proxy hairs are visibly thicker. Do you think you can try and see up-close in a new scene if you get this problem?

Thank you for the scene. I was able to reproduce the render locally.

Looks like the problem is because V-Ray proxy interpreted hair diameter and we're exporting hair radius. Please try it again in the upcoming 4.0.8 build, from my test it works better now.
