Hi, animationit's "working" in our experimental code, and will be unlocked in a future update. Of course we'd like also to build a physics engine so that hair will be totally dynamic.
Interesting. So I take on Windows system that mix of "\" and "/" is confusing the jpeg loading in Reality. Will check that and if so fix it in upcoming update... Thanks for the catch.
I installed it on my laptop and I want to install on my desktop also but the link for activation is not working. Is there a new link?
http://www.gm-‐studio.net/LAMH_activation.aspx
For the desktop you'll need a new activation key. Please email me the Serial Number displayed there, and I'll send you the activation data..
Reality passes it on to Lux but Lux just laughs and ignores it. This Issue has popped up in the past with some vendors content loader files (PZ2's etc ) using the back slash. I always confuse the two on proper naming but the correct format for Lux is the "/"...
Have a great New Year....
Just a note for people quoting (and re-re-quoting) that snippet of error message — it's breaking the forum page structure and causing sideways scrolling. This makes replies on the same page difficult to read.
OK, I've removed that quoted text from my posts...
Thank you for doing that.
Thanks Alessandro and Krazyhorse,
Looking forward to an automatic solution :)
Sorry to be so stupid, but where do I find the installation code for LAMH. I have the SN.
Enter the code from DAZ on the 2nd line. Leave the code in the 1st line alone. Go to the website listed on your activation screen and paste the codes in there. You will then receive the final activation code on your screen that you can paste into the 3rd line.

I am still not so good in doing hair, so I used LAMH to create some grass.
Renders much faster than any grass prop and was pretty easy done (could need some tweaking at the length, but at this moment I am happy with it).
Hi, I finally got around to downloading my copy of LAMH, but I have no Installation code to go with the serial number so I can't register it. Am I missing something?
Thanks :)
Hi mishwish, please email me directly at info_at_alessandromastronardi.com
I'll help you through it :)
Beautiful render sedor!
Here are two images, the first is the render as it came out of Lux/Reality, in the second image I added a bit of glow and color toning.
The style is the afro preset for Genesis available at www.furrythings.com/presets.
In LAMH, I opened the material setup and set hair root/tip widths at 40/20. Exported 100,000 hair to Studio, ran Reality and used a Matte Translucent shader for the hair.
I stopped the render after 30 minutes.
I think vendors should seriously think about making presets in LAMH from some of their previously released hairs, when they're up and running with the software. Maybe make speciality shaders for LAMH of different types of hair? Just an idea.
Anyway, I rendered with the standard shader and exported as Renderman splines. This picture is basically an icon for the RE-crowd of Wesker. Probably the closest one I've ever made of the man.

I understand that LAMH can only currently be applied to one figure in a scene???..so if I wanted to 'fur' four or five Rats then that would not be possible.????
If I am correct, when will this limitation be addressed.????
I am waiting to purchase..hint hint.!!!.. ;)
S.K.
*grrr* forum has had a hickup... so again:
You can have more than one item using LAMH.
If you look back in this thread you can see two renders I posted one shows clothes with fur done with LAMH (the cloth are two seperate objects) and the second renders shows you grass which I have done with LAMH (the grass in the foreground is a plane, the grass at the "hills" is a second object).
So, yes, you can use LAMH for more than one figure, but you can edit just one at a time.
Absolutely, we are working on that. Multiple LAMH'd figures is critical to our plans for DAZ Domination :-).

How much longer will Look At My Hair be on sale? Is it going to be on sale up to this Friday or ending sooner?
It's on sale 4 weeks, starting the 21st December.
Arrggg! It's not working. I click New Look at My Hair Object, I get a progress bar that says "Please Wait", and then Studio crashes. I uninstalled and reinstalled DAZ Studio 4.5.1.6, redownloaded and reinstalled LAMH but I still get the same thing. Any Ideas?

Please send me your log file so that I can take a look at info_at_alessandromastronardi.com
Thanks
Now that's what I call fast service! I just sent the file. Thanks for your help Alessandro.

Thanks to you for your patience. I'm taking a look at it now :)

Have fun with it! :)
Ok, I have been working on a project for the last couple of days, that uses LAMH. My goal was to make a nice long beard for 3D Universe's Rex. I got something that I can work with. I still need to play with the painting option. Not as happy with my edges. You can see the render here:
http://www.dreamslayerartworks.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=3373&title=old-father-time&cat=592
I have attached a portion of the render (beard part) for your looky loo.
But the most important part is the following things I find that could be considered, improvements, issues and bugs.
Improvements:
I would really like to see values for all of the functions, spheirize, curl, length, tilt roots, swirl, taper, random roots, intensity etc etc. I mean all of them. The reason I want these is when I am creating several shave groups, I would like to have a start from or just the ability to set up the same conditions. Currently that can't happen.
Issues:
On this project I had to close Studio midway through the project, so I saved my scene and I saved my preset but there is no way that I could see to safely get back to work. What I found I had to do was create a new hair, which opened up the plug-in and then I loaded up the pre-set and then sent it back to Studio. (Any other way caused crashes.) This method is all well and good execpt that I had removed the underlining texture from my hair but when I reopened up the pre-set LAMH had replaced it. I had to go back in and remove that reference. No biggie but I think that the pre-set should contain all of the changed options and not just some.
No undo after the follicles step. Some undo buttons on all those wonderful options (spherize, curl, length, etc) would be most helpful. What I finally did was to have two files. My I want to save this for sure and maybe I want to save this. This way if I got heavy handed I could go back to just before then and use that file. This worked ok but sometimes I forgot and then there was blue smoke around my desk.
Bugs:
The scene I was working on had two genesis-figures. Every time I tried to change the position of either one my session of DAZ crashed. I will send my log file to Kendall if he wants it.
When I was finished with making changes to the group materials of the shave group I clicked on the "load to" (Button 4 at the top of the window) the window closes and the pop-up window comes up asking if I want to save and exit. I say yes and LAMH does something and then the materials window comes up again. On your videos this does not occur so is this a bug? And what do you need to see if you want to reproduce the event?
Well that's all for now.
Absolutely I want the logfile. Any crash is unacceptable. I'll ask questions after I have a chance to digest/try to replicate the issues.
