        <p>hi all,
</p>
<p>
since I couldn&#8217;t find many hairtrix posts around, you might be interested in mine ;)
</p>
<p>
grass scene was done in vray by only using 1 vraysun,
<br />
hair produces proper GI and shadows underneath your hair,
<br />
finally a hairsystem that seems to be working without too many restrictions or complicated methods to get the job done <img src="http://area.autodesk.com/images/smileys/smile.gif" width="11" height="11" alt="smile" style="border:0;" />

Can anyone shed some light on this problem?

        <p>Hello,
</p>
<p>
I&#8217;ve been going through the process of switching my software onto my new computer. I&#8217;ve hit a problem with registering the COM/DCOM Server Control Utility. I need this so I can get my version of Max (2008) to work with Deep Exploration. When I click the register button nothing happens. I&#8217;ve also tried entering the register command but it also won&#8217;t make it register. Any help would be appreciated,
</p>
<p>
Thanks!
<br />
Kyle

        <p>Could any one recomend a good plugin for getting a hand sketched / water color effect on your renderings thats compatible with Max 2009 design. I like the Piranesi look for early design stuff but don&#8217;t like having to switch every thing over to max once I want a more developed photo real reandering.&nbsp; I have also used Photoshop filters for this, but I can never match the Piranesi look.

I watched a tour-video and a video to show what you can do with it.

I actually have a warm feeling about this software, can anyone recommend it or the opposite?

        <p>Hi folks,
</p>
<p>
This post is to assist anyone with HairFX to get operational on Max2009. It is possible but not entirely clear how to do this as I have discovered.
</p>
<p>
One firstly has to locate the files required. 
</p>
<p>
1/ You first need the DCPFLICS.dlu file which you will need to extract from the following link (ZIP file) into your Max 2009 plugins folder. You will find it here.... <a href="http://www.ddag.org/hair/builds/DCPFLICS_R2009_32.zip">http://www.ddag.org/hair/builds/DCPFLICS_R2009_32.zip</a>
</p>
<p>
2/ You will also need to appropriate build for HairFX for your version and flavour of Max, and download and copy into the plugins directory. Which you will find here.....&nbsp; <a href="http://www.ddag.org/hair/builds/DCPFLICS_R2009_32.zip">http://www.ddag.org/hair/builds/DCPFLICS_R2009_32.zip</a>
</p>
<p>
This will then enable you to re-authorise the software. 
</p>
<p>
I hope this helps anyone wanting to move HairFX to 2009!
