MetaHuman in VR does not display hair and beard

Hi guys, I’m doing some tests with metahuman in VR on a quest 2, I don’t understand why in viewport everything works perfectly, as soon as I do the export for the quest it becomes bald and beardless. I set the lod to 3, so it’s not groom but cards, I disabled physics, but I don’t understand why the quest doesn’t display hair

Hey @Kingterminetor,
Is there a particular reason you’re disabling the physics? I know that a lot of the hair is driven by the physics engine, so maybe enabling physics or a lower LOD?
I hope this can help,

The same with Hololens. Low LOD (even when hair looks like solid mesh) doesn’t help.

If I remember correctly, groom isn’t supposed to support stereo rendering. But it works in x64 apps (with SteamVR). And doesn’t work on other platforms (ARM).

Instead of using the LOD, select the beard/hair and enable the “Use Cards”.
Tested on the Quest2 and it works perfectly, I can see both beard and hair without issues.
