oot hairs, not for all

[shin zon]

anyone who can render with gpu using last oot hairs?
as its says: "is out of my touch" 😀 so heavy that i have issues also in the viewport

Yeah, I avoid OOT & a few other hair product vendors, as they seem to think the bigger the file the better!

A large file size is not neccessarily good & a small file size is not neccessarily bad!

@eelgoo i also say the same to my girlfriend, looks like she agree for the moment ^^

seriously, i agree 🙂
i wish to look into oot pc case :P-

@LivingPixels 1070 8gb, tbh i checked only one of the last oot hairs, (cant check which one atm)
i will try with scene optimizer, thanks for suggestion

Some older good quality V4 hairs, re-shaded for IRay work very well, for a fraction of the system load.

🙂

[shin zon]

yup, ofc, i am using also mainly old hairs g g2 or v4 (when optimization was a common practice, lol)

One thing you can do to relieve you GPU a little is apply custom shaders (such as Sloshwerks' Colorwerks) on those hairs because the default OOT shaders have way too much specularity/glossiness which has a very high impact on rendering performance AND makes hairs looks like doll hairs imo.

You need the old nvidia driver (417.71) the new 418.x has problems with iray at the moment.

Eh... the latest Nvidia driver is 430.86, and the bug with Iray has been fixed for well over two months...

i have no problem either with my rig to render OOT hairstyles, and i'm having the oldest card of the bunch here so far, a GTX 970.

I stopped using provided hair color materials and always use shaders on my hair, as i am indeed not a fan most of the time of how little choice or options you have.

For me personally, hair shaders look alot better aswell.

Looks like i need to test that specific hairs, i also used some others old oot hairs without problems (mumble)

tanks to all for replies, cheers

TBH, with a few exceptions, all 'modern' hairs tend to be poorly optimised bloatware.

Case in point, in zipped format in the new Kala 8 bundle.

@eelgoo i checked my archive for a "most used" chart, April win, alright, big files but good usability and quality

Update: Scene optimizer is a great tool, i dont know why i never used it even it was in my runtime from ages 🙂
