I updated my project from 5.4 to 5.5.1 and all is well except my character’s hair glows. If I start a new project and import them it’s fine, but for some reason it doesn’t like the upgraded project. I swear I’ve tried messing with every single hair setting but nothing makes a difference. My project matches the settings of a default project in 5.5.1 where the hair is fine. Oh, and the hair is fine in directional light, it just glows with point lights, rec, and spot. Yes, I’ve tried cast deep shadows. This is an iClone character and looked just fine in 5.4. I’m ant the very end of my project annd only need this fix. Any other things to try? (
Could it be stale shader cache? (shaders from 5.4 being incompatible with 5.5 or maybe you switched gpu drivers?)
Try deleting the folder DerivedDataCache in your project and run the project again to regenerate it.

OMG that would be crazy if that was the fix. I never thought to try it. I’ll back it up and try tonight and let you know.
Ok so I tried deleting the DDC but no change, I also tried deleting all lights and making new ones from 5.5 and importing the character again, but no change.
UPDATE*** for anyone that has this issue. There is a specular material inside the hair material. You have to use a lerp after the scatter node and blend it with the base color and then it is fixed. Took me 3 weeks to figure this out.
