Proportional Splaying for Hair Multiplicity
There is a new option for the Hair Multiplicity parameters in the Hair property editor: Splay type. You can now choose whether the duplicated hairs are splayed in a Proportional way according to the hair strand’s length, or splayed according to Absolute values.
The Proportional option is selected by default and should give you better effects on hair that is of different lengths, especially for shorter hairs. If you are loading older scenes into this new version of XSI, the Absolute option is selected by default.
For more information, see Increasing the Number of Render Hairs.
You may notice that the thickness of hair has changed in scenes that were created with previous versions of XSI. You may need to tweak the Thickness parameters’ values in the Hair property editor to achieve results similar to what you had.
