XGen Viewport Density Adjustments

[amercant]

Hi, there! 

Is there any way to decrease the viewport density of XGen hair without effecting the render density of the hair? I've poked around the settings extensively but haven't found a solution. Thanks!

Hi!

Tab Preview -> Percent

Thanks for replying! Sorry, but can you be a bit more specific? 

I'm using fur generated from the interactive groom method, and I don't see that specific option. What I do see are Preview Settings:

Hi!

My recommendation was for XGen "Classic", you use "Interactve Groom", that's a big difference.

The only option here is to increase render density by using Render Density Multiplier, but currently i can't recommend to use this feature, because it takes way too long to calculate the render density (with Arnold).

Maybe use a Render Layer override, or even better

- use "Pre render MEL" and "Post render MEL" in Render Settings to change value(s) for Density.
