Amarseda hair broken
Hello 3D world, having some difficulty with Amarseda hair, don't know how to explain attaching image, when I load Amarseda hair onto V4, top portion of her hair is missing, regardless how I adjust shaping tabs. Thanx.

Which file are you loading first the .daz file or the cr2?
have you tried injecting the V4 hair fits and does it look the same readered?
I'm guessing that is a screen cap from the preview window. If so, then what you are seeing is the OGL transparency issue. If you turn the camera to a different angle - or just render the image - you will see that the hair is not missing. There is nothing wrong - it's just an OGL limitation.
Loading .daz from Daz hair tab. Looks the same regardless what I do.
Yep, it's all there. As stated above some items will appear odd when loaded because of Transparency Map's in the Opacity Channel of there Surfaces. The items will render properly. It's just the Viewport (work space) that shows this way.
The Viewport is not a render. You need to use one of the Render options to see how things REALLY look.
Image is rendered. I've tried different angles, same thing. More worse in back view. All hair in my collection works properly, cept Amarseda.
so that is yes, it renders like that. I am too slow thanks.
Ok try using the CR2 located in the Content Library Pane > Whatever your library is called > Poser Formats > Figures > AprilAmarseda > Amarseda V4.cr2
Ah, okay that is wrong as a render. Would you please REPORT this issue with a support ticket and explain the issue.
Hi Jade, Oh oh moderator !! Better find another forum to ask questions, Lol !!! j/k ! Congrats friend. Your very appreciated here. I was once a moderator at a medication forum, lot's of fun :-) Not having any issue with any other hair I purchased, just Amarseda which came with V4 starter bundle. Ph Loverly, Summer hair etc.... works fine. Ok, will seek ticket support.
Your very welcome Jade, well deserved status at forum, you've been tremendous help to me and countless of members. I'm smoothly working Daz software now :-) even learned to convert mat textures comfortably, working with primitives backdrops, etc.... thanx to you.
I'm still just little ol' me and I'll keep doing what I do which is help. I'm just helping with more things now. And TY.Just one question about that hair. Which Render setting are you using?
I was about to point out that if you use the "preview render" as the render engine then you will get this effect. You should be using the 3delight render engine.
Yep. Gone is 100% correct here.
I use preview render, only one I know of. Have no idea what 3delight render is ?

Here my friend.
Thanx Jade, will check it out later this evening :-)
Note the second part is in the Advanced Tab of Settings.
FWIW, the problem is that the "Preview" render setting is only a little better than the bare Viewport. It's fast, but that's because it uses your graphics card — with all its limitations — and ignores many of the settings that a full 3Delight render has to deal with. Accurate shadows and lighting, bumps, and making things not look like they're made of plastic all takes time to render properly.
I have just tested this hair, using both the CR2 and .daz file and both render as it should in DS4.5.1.6 with no lighting apart from the preview light. :)
Hi 3Dworld. Thanx, hair renders fine using 3delight, but complication I'm having is preview window in workspace, cannot make any adjustments with parts of hair missing. Just strange all hair works cept Amarseda. I purchased more hair that works fine, building up hair collection :-)
Thanx for all assistance.
What do you mean you can adjust the hair or you can't adjust it becasue you cannot see it.
If you cannot adjust because you cannot see it the remove the Opacity maps until you get the hair adjusted.
Hi Szark, the images I uploaded at beginning of thread is what I see, when I appy hair to V4, prior to any shaping adjustment. Just strange Amarseda hair doesn't work. I've purchased several styles of hair, they all work. Possible installer didn't download/install data properly.
Yeah I know that but what I am trying to find out if you can adjust the hair at all, or is it a case of not being able to adjust the hair at all.
Not seeing it won't stop the hair adjusting
But this hair product in the .daz format has been broken for a while hence I suggested using the CR2 and NOT the Daz file.
Only can adjust hair that is displayed.
then remove the Opacity maps as that is what is causing you not to see it and you will see the hair complete, then once you have posed the hair replace the Opacity maps.
Thanx Szarks, will give it a shot after work.
This hair is very old, and displays very strangely in preview in Poser as well, even with texture shaded enabled.
Just checking - but you do realize that the adjustment dials are in the neck, don't you?
These dials work even if the hair is invisible.
You can also use one of the other cameras to look at the scene from different angles. The transparency issue is only visible from the viewing camera angle so if you move the camera "invisible" hair becomes visible while the "new" hair facing the camera becomes invisible.
Yes, it's a pain but it's a limitation of OGL and as your hair library grows you will find more hair with this problem.
The more layers a hair model has the weirder it will look in preview.
Not just hair; because it is a limitation of OpenGL as used in the Viewport, this happens any time you have two or more surfaces in line-of-sight of a camera with transparency applied. Hair, clothes, scenery, anything.
