Line Tessellation Parameters Missing from Cecelia Updo for Genesis 9

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I'm using Cecelia Updo for Genesis 9 and trying to preview the hairs in a Filament viewport. However, unlike every other strand-based hair product that I own, there are no parameters for Viewport Line Tessellation Sides or Render Line Tessellation Sides, nor are there parameters for Generate PS Hairs, Generate PR Hairs, or Preview PR Hairs.

The product is advertised as a strand-based product and uses the Omni Hair Shader but the expected properties are completely missing from the Parameters tab.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, or do I just need to delete the product from my library and move on?

    I don't have it.

    There isn't a hair cap, where the actual SBH is parented to?

    There are two separate objects, the hair cap and the hair itself that. Neither has the tessellation options.

    If you check the hair scene info. find high value of Total Lines, then check hair Surfaces, find no Hair Generation / Hair Simulation settings, then it means the hair is not a genuine SBH, which means it can be neither tessellated nor simulated ~~ The hair is just a figure with polylines.

    Some vendors made such hairs, like this one : https://www.daz3d.com/princess-series-oriental-updo-for-genesis-9-genesis-8-and-81

    Unfortunately, we users have no way to add the above settings to the hair ~~

    I often convert imported fibermesh hairs to polylines myself from Carrara, Zbrush and Blender which of course also cannot be simulated as we don't have the PA tool, they too don't have line tesselation 

    so it's actually a third type pf hair

    which also has PA exclusively as we cannot rig our own or add morphs once converted to curves

    Thanks for the help on this. The hair has 11,267 lines (according to the info tab) but has no Hair Generation / Hair Simulation settings. Just going to uninstall it, hide it in DIM, and forget I own it.

    and I won't buy it

    thanks for the warning yes

    would be useless in Filament or for export to other apps too
