Im using Joe Alter's Save and a Haircut inside 3ds Max, but when I render im not getting any shadows from the fur. Ive heard that there are special hair lights, but if so I dont know how to do this. When I render with a regular omni light, it ignores the presence of the hairs. Any suggestions and help are appreciated. :dont know

I'm not familiar with the max version of shave but in Maya, it seamlessly picks up the lights in your scene and you can also specify which light you want it to use (the fewer, the better).
Maybe the Max version needs some switches/settings turned on in the lights?

The hair does not pick up on the light when I render, and ive looked for other settings for lighting and shadows of the hair, but dont see anything. The lighting is picked actually, but not the shadows. :confused:
