Hey there

for some reason when I apply a hair and fur modifier on an object it wont show up when I do a quick render. is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks.

Sure, I’m using max 8 and I’m applying the hair fur modifier to any primitive object such as a sphere and what not… as far as render engines I’m not sure and I’m guessing that has a lot to do with it.

the best I can do is just show my current render settings. hopefully this will help.

Bleeping slow imageshack :(

Much better to attach the image than use IMG tags - just don’t do a preview.

As for the renderer…
Expand the Assign Renderer rollout - you can see it at the very bottom of your image.

From the screen shot, it says he’s using scanline. Can you give us a sample scene where it’s not rendering? Or list the steps you’re using to apply the H&F?

sure

here’s the object I use. as you can see its just a plain sphere.

with the sphere selected I pull up the hair and fur modifier from the modifier list.

here’s how the sphere looked after I applied the hair and fur modifier.

here’s how the sphere looks when I render it.

Edit: After posting a different possible solution, I saw you’re using the ActiveShade window which won’t render the H&F. Switch to Production in the rendering menu to render the H&F.
