Guten Tag Dr Sassi

Yes it was meant the serious way.. thank you

I did not find you on Instagram. Not sure you have an account at all. But I hope you can watch my reel. https://www.instagram.com/p/DGd_wqetHzu/

Have a great day

@Dr-Sassi oh, no you don't need to explore anything. I was just wondering if I do something wrong. thank you for the hint

@Dr-Sassi
That did the trick. Promoted the Taurus and did bake it.

At the end all for nothing. There is no way to have this work. My M1UltraMac is not able to handle that simulation. C4D says FPS 0.0, actually it's 30s/frame

Shall I bake the Hair to Alembic... will take 1h30. or is there another way ?

sorry to bother you with this

Hey @Dr-Sassi I'm struggling since hours to make it work till I finally looked at the cached Images. They are just wrong, no way near the Material.

Would you mind have a look. No clue what I'm doing wrong Folder with the scene and the first 60 frames PNG... as you can see just not the same as the Luminance channel on the Material:
Thank you

@Dr-Sassi Your my man, thank you . Have a great day.. I'll let you know in case I post something at the end.

@Dr-Sassi better , thank you.

btw, any hint why the Bake create only 10 png, although i defined from 0 to 300!!

@Dr-Sassi

Hi Dr Sassi, yes now I got the trick. I'll try right away.

the 2nd link with animated gradient does not work

Thank you

@Dr-Sassi I understand the Idea of having the BW Image driving the size of the hair, but not sure how you did it.
I see that there is one png per frame, which is than driving the length of the Hair Material.

But how did you create those PNG? Is that why you pointed me to baking the Material?
Don't see how the baking of the Red color in your example would help?!

I tested before I created the ticket to have the Taurus backed as alembic, but this didn't help as it's the same issue

Could I use the Vertex Map to drive the Length?

Thank you and have a great day

Hello Dr. Sassi, many thanks for your feedback. For once it's not lack of how to

The file is too big, although there is not much in. Please find it here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nUXhIIpZ5fkWpP9N1tUElypfhVd63Y5S/view?usp=sharing

Perhaps is my approach not the right one. I was inspired by Elly cookie tutorial, but wanted to do it differently. Therefore the hairs. How would you grow hairs in a growing way? Is it possible at all?

Thanks you again

Hey there
I have a Taurus with a growing vertex map. Works just fine.

No I want to create hair on the vertex map. It works somehow, but it's off. Means, it has hair where the Vertex Map is still red. Any Idea what could be the issue.

I tried to bake the Hair, but C4d crashed at 185MB
Thank you
