Overview

These material presets feature the latest innovations in RenderMan for rendering Hair and Fur. The diverse set of Hair materials and fuzzy set of Fur materials can be imported using either MaterialX Lama or Marschner Hair.

Developed using fully native RenderMan nodes and best practices for rendering hair & fur at Pixar, these presets were designed to be used with all RenderMan plugins via the Preset Browser and the Official RenderMan Swatch.

How-to

Drag the contents into your Asset Library > Materials folder. The files are organized by category and can be easily searched in your preset browser.

Make sure to transfer the installation RenderManAssetLibrary folder to a location with full writing privileges.

Once you transfer the Materials folder and move your Asset Library into a different location, it is important to tell Maya through the preferences that you want to use the new path.

Or you can create a new environment variable in you Maya.env file, which will make sure you are always pointing to the right folder:
