Hello there!

Here´s a quick update on my hair situation!

• Populating the scalp with more guides seem to be giving better results when it comes to the overall shape of the hairstyle:

- There is however one big issue. After re-opening the scene, I am not able to render the hair.

This has happened to me a few times before. In the Preview/Output tab, after setting operation to "Render", I am not able to select Renderer. The Renderer is set to "None" and cannot be changed even though I have mental ray enabled.

I have noticed that sometimes when I was working on the hair for the first time (not re-opening the scene) even though the Renderer was set to "None" and could not be changed to Mental Ray, I was still able to render the hair. Sometimes this is not the case after saving the scene and opening it again.

Any idea what could be causing this problem?

It might be a bug in which case I might try to load this description into a new maya scene, apply it to the scalp mesh and render it there or I will have to create the hairstyle in one go if I want to be able to render it.
