Hair invisible in viewport when in Iray

redbankmick

This was never a problem until recently, but I must have clicked on something.

When I am setting up a render in Viewport with Nvidia Iray view, the hair is not visible.  I can see the hair in all the shaded settings, but it is hard to get a sense of how it would look rendered.  How do I correct the global settings so hair appears when I am looking at scenes using Iray? I have searched the form and the solutions suggested for this or similar problems did not work.  The posts I found were also not recent. Thanks in advance.

I am really frustrated with myself because everything was working fine!

If it is strand based hair, this is by design. You need to go into the hair parameters and increase line tesselation to 2 to see the hair in preview mode.

The latest, beta, versions of DS have direct support for Iray curves/fibres which avoids the whole issue - see http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/change_log#public_beta_420134

Thanks to both! If only I had posted here first before spending an hour tearing my hair out trying to troubleshoot it myself!
