7.191: No Hair in Cycles

It seems that my hair fails to show up in cycles despite it showing up in Eevee. I find that this happens only after grooming the hair, then everything disappears.

I checked a few options, but I could not figure anything out. Any suggestions?

Eevee

Cycles

Eevee hair is simplified by using Strand or Strip.
My experience is that switching from Eevee to Cycles somehow leads to problems (it makes me nervous :wink: ). I would say, try to switch Eevee hair type.

I played with the hair shape options and that seemed to pop the hair into view.

I also noticed that if I try to look at the hair while in the particle editor it does not appear in cycles. In this case I only have to go back into object mode.

New hair systems are being worked on is the good news.

That sounds good. I suppose I will fiddle away until those systems come our way.

I’ve been “playing” with the particle hair, and the best “view/render” I like is the Workbench, which seems to me to be a preview render, rather than an actual render engine render like EEVEE or Cycles.

Sounds useful- might be something to consider in my workflow.

Can’t hurt to try it out. :grinning:
