I am just playing around with new hair system in Cinema. I have found in the manual:
1] Why only hair guides can be transferred?
2] When I use output geometry I lose all advantages of new hair system, the geometry is generated, in Maxwell Studio the generated object is regular mesh object not the hair object. Am I right? Or did I miss something? Increasing number of hair make Cinema to freeze...
3] If I try only to use hair guides, the Cinema freeze as well, when I increase guides count to high...
4] Can anyone provide functional Cinema scene sample with working setup, please?
5] It would be nice to use regular spline to generate Maxwell hair instead of Cinema Hair system object...
As I have only demo of Studio version it is very frustrating to setup new hair object and material every time Cinema crashed...
Questions:Firstly, the most important factor to keep in mind is that it is only possible to transfer the hair guides from C4D Hair into the MXS file as Maxwell Hair. In cases where this does not suffice, it is advised that you use the Hair object's Generate tab to output geometry (be sure to check the 'Single Object' option). The plugin detects whether this (i.e. generating 'Single Object' hair geometry) is the case; there is no need to add any special tags to control it.
