I made it using 'Hair From Mesh Strips'

But Camera Facing doesn't work... 

 

Windows10

Maya2020.2

Ornatrix 2.5.3.24029 Latest, Demo

Also Gpu hair

Hi,

I tested again but it seems to be working fine:

You can see the difference when Camera Facing Hair it's ON and OFF. Make sure that you have the same settings as mine in viewport Hair Display.

Are you using Demo right?

Ah right, I just did with the demo:

 

I guess the only difference is that I'm on Maya 2019. I will try 2020 later today and let you know.

I tired it on Maya2019 and now it works! Thank you so much!

so, Did you tired it on 2020?

Im using maya 2020.3 and Ornatrix maya v3.2.4.28097 camera facing isnt working.
Hair Display Mode is set to GPU Hair, is this supposed to be fixed?

Hi,

We have been investigating this issue again. We tried different versions from Maya 2018 to 2022. In our end it works fine onn every version. 

What GPU, GPU drivers and Operating System are you using? 

If you are using an nVidia GPU, please try the Studio Drivers. 

Have in mind that this feature will not work on Mac. 

Also, check the script editor when you enable this feature. Watch out for any errors or warnings. Maybe the display mode falls back to Legacy Display Mode for some reason, which does not support camera facing strands.

Hey Jeordanis
I'm on a Windows 10 and using an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super. It was working fine on the maya 2018 version so I was confused but updating my drivers like you said solved the problem thanks!

Great!
