  OpenGL will not work for LaMH, unless you have exported as OBJ, as the hair uses a 3Delight feature. Is there anything more in the log file after a failed render?

  If I use the #3 render option, OpenGL GLSL I get the scraggly little guide lines, if I use 3Delight [#4] I get a "Failed to Render" pop-up, then the render software continues to run in the background endlessly.

  
  Sounds like you're using the very basic "Quality vs. Speed" slider in the Render Settings dialog. That's really no help at all trying to figure out odd problems like this. Can you collapse that panel (there's a grey line directly under the rabbit, click the white triangle in the middle), switch to the "Advanced" sub-tab and post a screenshot of the "Render Engine" section? Something in there might point to where your problem is. (If the Render Settings dialog isn't big enough to show the whole section all at once, you can grab the edges of the dialog and stretch it until it is big enough.)

  Here that is... I included both errors also...

  The funniest thing is that this worked on my old computer with Vista... I then upgraded to Windows 7 and after a short while it stopped working. I then upgraded my computer to this monster, which will set me back $3900 after I pay off my financing... LOL! I assumed I could never run into a problem with this... but alas. I did create renders with LAMH models before... In my previous post someone responded to reset everything to default. However that made the issue worse. Honestly, I don't remember how I had it setup before that... It is very perplexing. I can export the LAMH as an object but then it looks all crappy when I render, it looks like a plastic toupe or something and doesn't really resemble hair at all.

  There is a lot more in the log but it would take up several full posts and I don't want to get banned from the forum for spamming my log or something... lol

  Just paste the last few lines, after you start the render.

  Nevermind... The issues is resolved. Updated LAMH to 1.07.03beta and it worked just fine... I am guessing that the issue already was resolved. I think, this is just me, that in the store product description, or the page you get about items you purchased, should link to the Open Beta project at http://www.furrythings.com/look-hair-open-beta/ to encourage new users to update to the current version to avoid future conflicts with the same misunderstanding.

  I assumed that LAMH 1.0 I purchased would work fine with DS 4.6 straight out of the box, this is not the case it would seem.

  Sorry for the long drawn out issue for something so simply (and obviously) fixed...
