Cycles Hair Render #

Overview #

Cycles Hair renderer is a rendering engine developed based on the Cycles renderer. It is fully compatible with all the functions of Cycles renderer. The functions such as Use Radius Curve, Use Diameter Random and real-time viewing of hair thickness and color can be displayed and rendered properly through this renderer. And this renderer totally supports Cycles renderer.

Before Use #

• Please make sure the addon Cycles Render Engine is on, otherwise the "CyclesHair" renderer can not work.

• In the CyclesHair renderer, in order to display the color group, hair thickness, and hair modifier effects in real-time, the addon modifies the shading mode 'Material Preview' to Solid display.

• If you turn off 'Show Overlays' in the 'Material Preview' mode in CyclesHair renderer, viewport may not display properly. If you want to hide Overlays, it's recommended to use the functions that this addon comes with.

Renderer Switch #

After installing the addon, you can find CyclesHair in the renderer list.

Renderer Features #

The result of the functions, including Use Radius Curve, Use Diameter Random and real-time viewing of hair thickness can be displayed and rendered properly through this renderer.
