just a question

i noticed there is a utility to bring modles into leadwerks from 3ds max, would this work with hair? and if so would this use up to much memory?

I don't know how 3DSMax does the hair, is it a shader or a physics mesh? Does it work with 200 characters at the same time with decent FPS?

I've done hair in games so far with a simple mesh, which can be also animated with a shader (like the trees). The hair needs to be moved to the transparency world so that it alphablends correctly and smoothly.

Not if the hair is something other than a regular mesh. If it's just an animated mesh, that's fine too.

it can be changed into a mesh, so it sounds like it would work. thanks.

if you convert 3d max hairs to mesh, they will be almost 300k tris.(depends on hair density) so you should use plans for hairs and then make them transparent. as Lumooja said.

maybe this thread can help you.
