Ornatrix Maya: Terracing effect between guides

Hi there. I have a groom that is working for 80% of it but I am getting terracin arond the rear end between guides. The guides (as roughly drawn) are pretty similar shapes. but no matter what I try I cant get even hair distribution between them. Currently I am using: Uniform Distribution Uniform random - 0.6 Guide interpolation - segment Guide count - Interpolate between 3 guides No combination of settings seems to counter the terracing effect. Any ideas?

Jeordanis Figuereo	Hi, Maybe this is due to the Uniform Interpolation. Have you tried the "Even" Interpolation? Jeordanis Figuereo (Product Designer. EPHERE Inc.) LinkedIn Discord

Blockhead	Hey, Yeah I have tried all combinations. When I up the fur count I actually notice it in all areas. I think it is a problem with the interpolation between guides. Is there a way to force the interpolation beyond 3? I wonder if the basic count of guides is just too low. Pic attached You can see in the pic, more terracing on the sides. -one side note -- Does the smoothing of hair curves relate to tesselation of the underlying mesh at all? I am render-time smoothing currently, but could do one level of poly smooth if it helps. Temporarily, I will try to convert the length (the most drastically affected value) to a texture map, which is tedious! Attached Files:

Jeordanis Figuereo	I see. Is difficult to know without taking a look into the scene. Are you allowed to share it for testing? If so, please send it to jeordanis.f@ephere.com. Remember to put a link to this thread in the email. I will try to find out what is wrong. Jeordanis Figuereo (Product Designer. EPHERE Inc.) LinkedIn Discord
