seems max doesn’t render hair if you call the render() command. What is the reason for that and how can i fix that problem? Is there something like a renderhair() command, i missed???
help appreciated

which 3ds Max version?
In 3ds Max 2009×32:
mySphere = geosphere()
addModifier mySphere (HairMod())
result = render()
works just dandy 😮
I am using 3dsmax 9 32bit on win xp. A little out of date by now, but still really good. They have obviosly fixed that issue with newer versions. The exact same script gives me only a sphere.
anyone experienced with max9 ???

just tried in max 9 – still work there as well.
Does it show up if you run…
max quick render
and what if you launch a render manually?
if you are using a third party renderer, are you perhaps supposed to pass it code to make it run through the render effects?
Hair is a Render Effect. Did you verify that the Hair and Fur render effect was added and is active? Is it working fine with a regular press of the render button?

hi. I am using scanline renderer and no plugins. If i start max add a sphere and apply the hair modifier i get perfect results doing a render or a quick render. The hair effect is active and obviously working. But the hair does not render (nor do the shadows) if i call render().
huh. i just tested mental ray and it worked. Switched back to scanline and suddenly it works there as well. Now i’m confused…
