I can't tell you how hard it was to find a hair video that wasn't a silent time lapse or so convoluted in methodology that it spanned 30 damn minutes. Thank you so much for making this

Exactly
4:00 when he says "hit 'S' & 'Y'" he also hits 0 on the numpad after the green axis appears. this sets everything to zero.

These kinds of instructions are what prevented me from learning to use Blender for a long time. Nobody ever explains what they're doing, why they're doing it, or what any of it does. I've seen tutorials (text and video) that literally say something like "press A B C D then X and blah blah then press B D G Y S and then..." and I'm just like *okay but what the hell does any of that mean or even do.* Blender 2.8 added **proper** industry standard controls. That's the only reason I've been able to even learn to use Blender to the extent I have.
THANK YOU! You are the first person to make this kind of hair tutorial that isn't stupidly complex or rely too much on the particle system.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial. It's not just I get to learn how to model non-particle emitter hair strands in the simplest and flexible way, I now finally know what the Taper and Bevel Object boxes do on the Curve tab.
This is exactly the workflow I've been trying to develop. You just made my day!
Probably the best non particle hair tutorial. Congradulations
You have no idea how long i have been trying to find a nice and easy way to create hair in Blender. This tutorial goes right at the top of y favorites! Thank you sooooo much!!
It's one of the best tutorial for hair modelling. It's also looks like the easiest way do to it.
Thankyou! I was doing an anime hair and it was tedious to make just a strand and adjust each vertex to the head. You just saved my day!
You're so good! I was just scrolling through KZread to see what I can do with the program and then I found yours. Instantly, I was convinced that this is my favorite program. Now I can't wait to work on a project and use these tips!
Thanks to this video, i've acctually rendered out an image that i like and looks fairly decent. After months if trying - mostly with Particles- and not getting the result i wanted and it taking ages to render. This took me about 90 mins from opening Blender to full render. The render its self took just over 5. Particles woukd have been nearly 20
I am an inpatient person who can't sit through 20 min+ tut vids. But I forced my self to sit through this one. And it was so worth it.
as a blender nerd, this is an incredible method at doing this, great video, it's far more satisfying to do, it's worth the extra work at the start because it's easy to be happy with what you make using this method, bravo,, my favourite hair modelling video yet.
To turn hair to mesh, press alt+c and select "mesh from curve/meta/surf/text".

is there anyway to delete the internal vertices, caused by the clipping hair?
@imgayareyou

@@DrFross09 iirc--it's been a while--you can probably hit z to show the object as wire frame to locate vertices to delete them while in edit mode. Wire frame can get a little confusing, so at the menu bar near the bottom of the screen, there is a button (hover over it to see the name) "Limit selection to the visible". It is in between the face select button and proportional editing button. It will make your object see through in editing mode. You should be able to see your inside vertices there. I hope this helps!

This classic lives on. great stuff
Beautiful! Love it. Definitely a must-see Blender tutorial for learning 3D Modellers.
I've been using Blender since 2.6 and I did not know about ctrl to snap. Awesome!
What a neat tutorial, very well presented and great techniques!
This is amazing, can't wait to get home and try it.
Very informative! Understood the basic concepts within 5 minutes! Excellent tutorial.
Great tutorial! The tip on bezier curves for hair strand shape instead of meshes is really a pro insight :)
Amen. You're the best blender tutor I've ever watched?
Absolutely LOVE this!!
This tutorial saved my life, thank you so much!!!
Omg this helps me so much, this'll help me nail my character hair down! Thank you!
Thank you for tutorial! I think this is the best way to model hair in anime / cartoon style.
Great tutorial, Thank you!
What an awesome tutorial, exactly what I needed, thank you so much sir!
Very clear and detailed explanations, thank you.
I missed this when it came out, such a shame, as it is sooo good! Thanks Kent. Really incredibly useful.
This was the perfect video for me to make hair for anime style. Very well made. My only problem is, that the majority of such videos go for a non moving object, but I want to have this hair move in animations. Will need to work myself into achieving that.
I got a notification on my phone and could not wait to see this, great stuff thanks a lot.
Great stuff, love this!
this was probably one of the most helpful tutorials for me :3 thanks!
Much needed,very well explained thank you,thank you,thank you!

Awesome technique! Thanks for sharing.
Dude, this is uber awesome !!! Thank you so much for sharing this. What a clever way to manipulate hairstyle :O Keep rockin !!!!
You have some really mad skills man... Thanks for the tutorial ! I have been looking for something like this for a very long time. I cannot make as great hair styles as you but finally i can begin to train and i can finally put some hair on my characters ! :D
You are a saving angel friend. Thank you so much for your wisdom.
Right what I needed! Many thanks!
How nice. Got the same result just using polymeshes (but used to create the outlines first by extruding vertexpoints)
You are a life saver, bless your kind soul.
thanks for this tutorial, it was super helpful!! I'm working on my first ever character model and the hair was just not looking so good, but this helps a lot!! I think I might be able to finish the model now :D
Great tutorial! Thanks!

Man, you're so good at this. I hope I can get this good someday! Nice video btw, it helped me a lot.
Awesome! I'm working on my first model and I'm doing it by polygon editing, needless to say it takes a looooooong time (almost 2hrs for the front hair/bangs but I'm really happy with the result). I'm definitely going to implement your handles!

Well if you use proportional editing this can also be comfortable, perhaps will add a tutorial about this.

i just added it to my important list
Huh, hadn't though of using splines. Now to figure out a similar way in Maya
This was very helpful and the effect is pretty reusable. You can really get some vastly different styles just by changing the base shape and taper. I'm trying to adapt this to lower poly modeling for use in video games but it's not easy. I feel like if I get a work flow going and figure out how to make the poly reduction look better it'll look better than poly constructed and be faster than trying to push polys around by hand. If anyone has any tips to make this more low-poly friendly I would appreciate it. Thank you!
