Need help with weird hair

tyra_oeildeloup

Hello 

I've been using Riley Hair on a character I make a lot of renders of for a whole year, but lately I get this really ugly result with them. It's the same without any environment and with default lighting. 

I know Riley hair are old, but until now they were quite OK, here it's just really bad.They just don't connect 

I reinstalled DAZ recently, but I don't see what could have been affected by that. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall the hair, to no avail. 
(I know here the render is really really young, but I let it longer and result was the same) 

Would anyone know what the problem is ?

I have just tried it on G8 in latest beta, and it looks ok, and nothing like yours.

It looks like an issue with cut-out oppacity, but I don't know what could cause it.

Have you tried a 3rd party hair shader, to see how that looks?

Hello, on the picture they have an hair shader by Twizted Metal, but I get the same weird result with original texture all the same :( 

Here are a comparison of G3 and G8 Riley hair with original texture. I usually use G3 version because it reacts less weirdly on the said character, and it looked OK so far. I may need to shift to the G8 version even if it is a bit of an annoyance to me...

I've also done a test on the latest beta using the G3 version on a G3F and it seemed to render OK via iray. Not that helpful I guess as I dont know what could cause your issues either.

Thanks for your answers, I'm gonna try and see if I can post picture on here now...It seems it can.

I'm quite upset because I didn't find any recently released hair or high-end hair that looks similar to those :( 

 

Edit : even G8 version (second pic) isn't looking as good as before...
