Pro tip: Follow this tutorial. When you have everything placed where you want, change the curve type to NURBS. It drastically improves resolution of the curve and cuts down some of the clipping. To do that select the curves for the braid itself in object mode (excluding the path for the curve modifier), tab into edit mode, in the menu go to Curve > Set Spline Type >Nurbs (or search "Curve type" and pick it there). Also note: this will RESET rotations you apply, so, I suggest do those AFTER you change the curve type. Curves can be a pain to work with in blender.

THE MOST CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS EVER . Thank you !

This has helped me so much, you're a lifesaver!

Genius!!! You made the task very easy and quick while I'd spend about an hour just for this braid. Many thanks for sharing your method.

Great course! Just as a side note, you'll need to change the value of the x offset (0.030 in the tutorial) with the second array modifier if you modify the number of braid iterations (the "count" factor with the 1st array modifier, it's 10 in the tutorial)

you’re a saint

Great tutorial! Question, how do you then parent the created braid curve to the head armature ?

Nice. And now make it low-poly😀

How about if I want to make it x3 longer? When I tried increasing the Array Count above 11 and adjusting the relative offset to match the longer ver. Somehow when I add the curve path it does not follow or sometimes get distorted. Any steps I missed or should do for a longer length? Thanks.

I had follow this tutorial step by step, and Im having the same issue that a lot of people in the comments... impossible to control the geometry with the path, can you please explain why can be this happening? Thank you 👍

Is there a way to use this method with less verts and polygons? Trying to make it run well on my pc for my game.

Can you explain this thing . Big animation companies like disney and Pixar they will draw every single hair by hand and what's that mean . Can we also draw every single hair in blender too ? . Can't they ( big animation studios ) use this tricks ?

It's more likely that Pixar is using a hair generation system similar to Blender's hair particle system. They probably have some control or way to influence the hair, but manipulating every single hair on Rapunzel's head would take forever. When they render the final scene, each hair is then rendered by the system, and that's probably what they mean. You can see an example in this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/a39hqdhtiLnIYZM.html

that's dependent on what you want to create.. we are single users , if you want to create realistic hair you need to use particles in blender... that's mean more vertices and more render time.. in blender you can use 1 hair as a curve then the children for the hair they gonna be 100 or more than.. I avoid to use this method because my computer gonna be laggy.. Disney, is a huge studio with a lot of artists as an example when Disney used Maya software they doesn't use just Maya software that we know.. they develop an hair system, a particle system etc. specifically for them... if you saw frozen 2 they developed a particle system just for the snow .. we already know that Rapunzel has beautiful hair and that's not surprise me, that they were all crazy with the Hair system.. but many complex Hair systems are dependent on a hair root and many children for that hair.. so to give you an answer in blender you just need to use particles if you have a strong computer.. if you don't just use stylised Hair like many of us

@@BlenderArt wow 👌 you really know your stuff!

if mesh deforms after adding curve modifier try using ALt s to scale down each vert on path curve then you should be able to move the braid without deform

How to scale this properly ? With S the curve will be scaled and when selecting the mesh the structure gets destroyed. When scaling in object mode, the object gets scaled towards a point. I would appreciate some keywords for googling or some link to an fitting tutorial. Anyways nice video

Hi! This is an amazing tutorial, however once i have created the path and added it to the geometry, when i move the vertices to deform the geometry it gets totally deformed in a bad way, anyone know how to fix that??

I found out the trick is to in fact NOT hit merge on the first array, it causes it all to stick to one side of the axis

You sure? I just tried it out and it works fine. I learned I have to have the first array with the relative offset at a high number, or the braid won’t work

What a stupidity, it could be done immediately through curves, then make a shape using the screw tool and add two modifiers mirror and array
