V-Ray 2.0 for 3ds Max and Maya - Hair and Fur Shader

Now, with the latest update to V-Ray 2.0 you can render hair and fur with unprecedented control, quality, and speed using the new VRayHairMtl shader and VRayHairInfoTex map.
User can also seamlessly render hair created using Ephere's Ornatrix( http://www.ephere.com/plugins/autodes...) plug-in with the new modifier - VRayOrnatrixMod.

excuse me...this too me is very disappointing. I have seen hair renderings with Arnold and Maxwell with outstanding realism in regard of translucent and shading. I have even seen better rendering with Mental Ray and Hair&Fur. This demo isn't significant at all. What matters in hair renderings is the light shining from the back through the hair. Backscatter etc. Also how does the render behave in animation. How does it behave when atmosphere effects such as fog are applied?What about Hairfarm?

And it's slow as hell, even with this insane number of cores. I've always used Vray for my work, but now I'm considering switching to Mental Ray, because with each new version of Vray it gets slower and slower without getting any better in terms of render quality. It doesn't make sense.

To ChaosGroup:

Stop implementing support for 3rd party stuff, there is just too much out there to support.

Instead, build your own hair&fur engine.

How do I add the prismatic effect that hair has? This is the effect of a subtle rainbow in the hair/fur.

is vrayHairInfoTex available in maya version? I tried the latest demo version of vray for maya 2012 but I cant find vrayHairInfoTex in it.

How do i do this in MAYA?

[René Descartes]

With Vray I can render a lot of things with fast speeds.

With mental ray if I render one primitive, even if it's a plane, it crashes my whole computer.

[Alonso Vega Peña]

Can i use this shader with the default hair of max ????

[zoofiane]

you can define the number of render buckets

at initial state it's set to the number of threads

[Louis Browne]

eh, because of 12 threads?

[Louis Browne]

Do you intend on getting Ornatrix working with RT? And if so, could you give a estimated time?

[noobdles]

come on guys, demo video for maya please? sigh
