Tips & Tricks

Although I'm using Digimation Shag Hair here, the tips that I'm going to mention do apply to all other 3rd party hair renderers. You can download the Demo version of Shag Hair from www.digimation.com

Following is a list of tips that improves and speeds up the process of creating hair using a 3rd party renderer.

  1. Do not plant and grow the hair directly on the mesh of the character. Create the scalp using a separate piece of mesh. This will ensure faster rendering as the calculation will be just on the scalp mesh rather than the whole head mesh or worst still, the whole character if it is a single mesh character.
