Hi Stefan, I couldn't get rid of the noise completely. I don't know how to achieve that. I tried higher aa and scaling but that didn't help anything.
I got interested in testing hairs in Realsoft because I just received my update of Cinema4D. The most interesting part of the update is the hair plugin. I did the same sort of test with this plugin: www.xs4all.nl/~joly/temp/cinehair.avi It's a nice plugin, it's very easy to get a result like this, just a few clicks. It renders extremely fast (this movie took 15 minutes to render) You cannot really compare it with Realsoft. This is not raytraced hair it's a post effect. So it has some limitations with lightsources and shadows. On the other hand it's very complete: dynamics, scissors, brush, comb, and lots of style possibilities like frizz, clump, curl, etc. But this does not come for free of course, the plugin costs 325 euro separately. So this was only a test, but it made me interested, I will come up with something more interesting later on. I'm not sure what it will be yet :) Arjo. > I bet its hard though to completely get rid of the noisy jitter, > that makes > it look like the hair is drawn down through some dust..I guess it also > increases with more hairs..and if they are thinner... > > Nice to have it look better, and cut the render time at the same > time too..! > > Is it just for test the hairplugin only..?, or are you planning > to use it on > a character ? > > Good luck with whatever it is..! > > Take Care > Best Regards > Stefan Gustafsson ( Beg-inner ) >
