Re: mib_illum_hair_x?
@Luc-Eric Rousseau - Thanks. The fact that the only mentions I can find of the shader in the Maya docs are in conjunction with XGen might account for my own little tests that seem to indicate that the shader doesn't seem to do much in Softimage. Or am I mistaken? Greetz Leendert -- Leendert A. Hartog AKA Hirazi Blue Administrator NOT the owner of si-community.com

Addendum: not knowing exactly what the different parameters should achieve due to lack of documentation doesn't help assessing the shader, obviously... Greetz Leendert -- Leendert A. Hartog AKA Hirazi Blue Administrator NOT the owner of si-community.com
Re: mib_illum_hair_x?
According to pictures from this link http://blog.mentalray.com/2014/11/06/xgen-hair-and-custom-shaders/, more or less the same as Muh Hair or pHairTK. That is, single scatter Marschner model.Perhaps one of the best short explanations, what it trying to do, belongs to docs of Muh Hair. From: Leendert A.

mib_illum_hair_x?
I'm quite possibly looking in all the wrong places, but there seems to be a shader present in Softimage 2015 that doesn't seem to be documented, namely the mib_illum_hair_x hair shader (hiding in the basehair.dll), it's also present in Maya 2015, but documentation seems sparse there also. Am I missing something? Any thoughts on this? Greetz Leendert -- Leendert A. Hartog AKA Hirazi Blue Administrator NOT the owner of si-community.com

I think you are witnessing the great divide that is communication between Autodesk - mental ray - Nvidia On 12 Dec 2014 16:37, Leendert A.

Re: mib_illum_hair_x?
what I know of it is that is a hair shader based on the Marschner method, and seems to be experimental. I would suggest contacting the mental ray dev team on their forums http://forum.nvidia-arc.com/showthread.php?12921-Maya-2015-new-hair-shader On Fri, Dec 12, 2014 at 11:36 AM, Leendert A.
