Is there a way to control the width of hair particles without using meshes as the visualization? I need some grass in one of my scenes. I have seen this done in other programs.
Cheers.
Yes there is. In the Materials Panel, in the Links & Pipeline window, there’s a box labeled Strands. Click on that, and it’ll open a menu where you can control the width and fade characteristics of hair strand particles.

That’s great. Thanks so much.
You’re very welcome. Glad I could help.
