Importing 3ds Max hair

Unity Engine
1

Greetings-

I have a 3ds Max animal character covered with hair (long and short). When I import it into Unity it comes in like a shaved lamb… no hair. Is this a lost cause or is there a way to get it imported with the hair on it or is there another work around?

Thanks.

C.

There is no way to import Max Hair into Unity. There is a Hair/Fur Shader floating around here somewhere you might try out.

You can convert Hair and Fur into a mesh, but bear in mind the poly count would be huge unless you are very careful. Alpha planes or a shader would be much more efficient
