I'm new to using the hair shader with Arnold in Cinema 4D and have a pretty basic question. From what I've looked up online, the correct way to render hair is to apply the standard native Cinema 4D hair shader and then apply the standard Arnold hair shader next to it. But the issue I'm having is that it's not correctly rendering the hair color I've applied to the standard shader. It should be a reddish yellow and it's rendering all black. Not sure why it's not recognized the color. When I do the standard render it correctly renders the desired color. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip. The melanin value was originally set to 1 so I turned it down to about .25 and the color is starting to come through but not quite what I was going for and not as saturated as I was looking to get. Attaching screengrabs of both. Thought that maybe if I set it to zero it would remove the darkenss value but then it just went to white. So is getting the hair color right adjusting the interplay between hair color in the native hair shader and the melanin value in the arnold hair shader? Thanks for all your help. Really appreciate it.
Ahhhhh. Got even closer. Adjusted the Base color within the Arnold hair shader and now I'm getting close to what I'm looking for. Just curious if when using hair in Arnold, what properties you typically adjust, i.e. melanin, melanin redness, base color, etc.? Thanks again for all your help.
Got it pretty much how I want to look. Adjusted the Specular as well and that seems to have done the trick and dialed it in the saturation better. Would love to hear your thoughts on best practices for hair wheneverbeeker.jpg you get a chance. Thanks again.
Those properties are good for natural looking hair. However, Beekers hair is an unnaturally bright orange. Maybe, adding some Diffuse orange would help with that.
