Attr rollout
The Hair Light Attr(ibutes) rollout lets you adjust
properties for the hair shadow map generated by
thelight.Thisrolloutappearsforsupportedlights
at render time. If you want to adjust a light’s hair
settings b efore render time, you can d isplay it
explicitly by following the steps shown in the path
annotations at the beginning of this topic.
You specify which lights to use in the Hair And
Fur render effect (page 3–220).Bydefault,Use All
Lights At Render Time is on, so all supported lights
inthescenecanilluminatehair.Usethisrollout
to set hair-specific shadow-map values. Hair
shadows ignore the light’s ordinar y shadow-map
settings (for other 3ds Max objects).
Impor tant: The settings on this rollout apply only to
“buffer”-rendered hair (the default rendering method,
set in the Hair And Fur render effect). The “geometry”
and “mr prim” m ethods use the light’s ordinary shadow
settings.
