I have a copy of the Daz Anthropomorphic Chimp. The model itself is excellent, and imports to iC well. This will make a great iC Character.

I noticed this chimp has LAMH, which is new to me. And I noticed there is now a (free) LAMH reader. Supposedly LAMH can be exported via OBJ, so I tried it. No hair came through. I can use it without hair, but I'd like to see this work.

Have you ever exported LAMH into iC successfully? Got clues?

"Less clicks good, more clicks bad."

The TL:DR version is... forgetabout it.

Without going into too much detail let me just say that because iClone does not have a hair shader the ONLY way you can get decent hair for animation is the use of cards/polygonal hair (which is to say, strips of polygons with opacity maps applied to simulate hair).  There are TONS of ways to try - the most promising being particle hair - but the bottom line is that nothing else will work, and certainly not this LAMH thingee (which is a Daz product that just won't work anywhere else).

I don't doubt what you say. This LAMH was the only thing I hadn't tried, and the (reader) price was right. Yes, the results have been worthless.
The fur on the cats comes in in an acceptable way. To bad they didn't stick with that.

I know it's old, but their free "reader" seems relatively new. I thought, maybe it's coming back to life. I did finally succeed at exporting the LAMH hair on the chimp (phew). For the time it took, and for the impractical file size that resulted, I might have expected it to look sharp. Not hardly. BUT... I found out if it worked. That was my goal.

I'm going to go ahead and continue to use these Daz animal characters without hair.
