Hey guys,
I’ve been playing around with the new hair shader and have also looked at the hair shader in the content examples map. But that example seems like a really simplified version and looks nothing like the hair they showed on the livestream. Is it possible to get a clear screenshot of the node network or the actual hair shader from the livestream?
I have also been waiting for a decent example of the new hair shading model and it sounds like our prayers may be answered with the “next version of unreal”:
Stated at around the 2:37:00 mark of the video… in case the link doesn’t work like it should.
Oh neat! I didn’t quite reach that part of the talk yet haha. Ok that’s great! now I sit and wait 
I wonder if they fix the backlit parameter until then.
You can see it in this post: Proper Setup For the New Hair Lighting Model - Rendering - Epic Developer Community Forums
Can’t wait for a working version of that nice shader 
Does anyone know if that TwinBlast example head is already released in the content examples?
No it’s not. I asked for it in the main 4.13 thread and got the following answer:
“We’re not releasing the same asset, but are working on a new one. It’s on the way, but not immediately.”
It is a lot closer when you turn on shadows for the light. The backlighting in the shader relies on self shadowing.
