Does anyone have the old makehair script still working?
I tried to get it work today, but… er… (oO?)
[this thread is limited to makehair discussion, no discussion on new particles system, OK?]
I doubt anyone has put a real effort towards that script for ages now, as it never really caught on. At least I don’t remember seeing a lot of pics done with this. I think the main reason, at least for me was, that it required another renderer to be installed.
unlike you, that’s precisely why I want to use this script. I’ve got aqsis, pixie, 3Delight and even one odd java renderman renderer installed. But I’m not sure how this script is supposed to work. tried it in blender 2.42a and it only wrote lights’ information to the file no hair objects. Why, I’m not sure. the “tutorial” isn’t exactly explaining things either.
I remember trying it back when it was made, and it did took a lot of trial and error before I managed to get any results with it.
But basicly, the script should give you the hair guides, which you can use to modify your hair and after that you just render it in Aqsis and do some post pro in an app of your choice.
But as said, I don’t know if there ever was any serious developement with it after the particle rewrite and Jahka’s particle work was anounced. At least the site gives out, that there was to be next version, but it has been, if not completely abandoned, at least post poned indefinetly.
But you could ask MakeHuman developers about it.
