Quick bonus tip: While editing the curve, you van hit alt-s to scale that point. This is useful for tweaking the taper per strand. Hope this helps! =3 EDIT: Turns out taper object overrides the taper, they don't stack sadly! =

Please dont what? You can be honest without attacking a person.

Another useful tip: if you switch to "face snapping" and check the "project individual elements" button (far right one) you can place each node on the surface of the head just by moving with "g" and holding ctrl. Projection is view-dependent, so you may want to rotate the viewport to match the angle. This way you don't need to manually place and adjust each node to make it tangent to the surface

Already knew about this method, but I didn't know about the plugin so still learned something. Thanks for sharing.

I was searching your channel hoping to come across this method, since I've seen it used in your other videos, so glad to have found this!

A superb video -- one of the most helpful I've seen in a while! Well done and thank you!

Nice tutorial, thanks Danny. Been meaning to use this for a while and finally got around to it. Twisting the hair curve is super satisfying imo

I just started using Blender last year and finally got over the learning curve and love it to pieces. I'm planning on re-doing some animation work I did years ago, but now with modern tools. When I bumped into your channel, I immediately enjoyed the sculpting bits, but really hoped you'd have more on rigging. I speak for myself, but I'd definitely pay for a whole rigging course from soup to nuts if you ever put one together.

I watched this a week ago and it might as well have been in Dutch. After a week on Blender I'm creating my own stuff and this is a basic tutorial - Awesome software!

@LapisSea if it's just performance that bothers you... Well they probably just stopped optimising whenever it was already comfortable enough to live with. I suspect that at least in isolation and on modern hardware, it could be polished up by a single developer in a matter of a couple of months at a handful hours a week. If you find a few hundred people that are willing to pay a small amount, it sounds like something that could be done, rather than "never". If you can't find the people, maybe it isn't important.

use multiresolution modifier to sculpt instead of subdivision surface. Zbrush has better poly-count performance only because you are actually sculpting by painting a 2d vector displacement maps on top of low poly mesh. also blender 2.8 will make use accurate open sub div. which should boost performance.

I've been searching for was to make hair the last week. Heck, I even put your name in one of my searches but only came up with the xgen video which isn't available for blender. Imagine my surprise opening KZread and seeing you have a hair tutorial for blender. Thanks man.

I've been very reluctant to use Blender for several years. I simply don't like the UI or how it operates, as I've been using Maya for a good while and am used to it. It's also incredibly frustrating to get used to a piece of software while working on something, and I don't feel like taking the time to tinker around in Blender to learn how to use it when I'm already familiar and efficient with Maya. But every once in a while I find something somewhere that makes Blender very attractive. This is one such thing. I've been looking for good solutions to hair in ZBrush for a couple months now and haven't been able to find anything that works for me. This seems to be very useful and more user friendly than, say, exporting fibermesh curves to Maya, or using premade hair curve/imm brushes, or using the bend deformer you demonstrated in the video. (I used the latter for a recent project, and it was kind of a pain in the ass but it got the job done.) I obviously don't know a whole lot about Blender, so I have to ask: Is there a way I can use the curves from this to then rig the hair? That is to say, can I create a joint chain from the curve. I tried to find a solution to that for Maya but came up empty handed. It seems like everything I wish Maya could do, Blender can. So is using a curve to create a joint chain possible in Blender? If it is, Blender will likely become part of my workflow.

@LaurArt_UK

3 жыл бұрын

There are a few options for rigging hair. Some add cloth physics to it, (within a modifyer, so non-destructive until applied). Otherwise you can rig it by just adding joint chains as you say and weight painting to affect portions of the hair. If you search 'rigging hair in blender' the first vid is a handy intro to see if you like the technique :)

Hey there! New to the channel. And guess as everyone else you hooked me with the accent ^_^ Was passing by while trying to learn how to make polygon "hurr" :) then decided to leave a tip as a thank you: you can assign a new bezier curve to each "strand" as taper object, making them even more individualistic in control. Also, transforms in object mode on the taper curves don't affect the main curve, only in edit mode

I think layers are your friend when you want to make adjustments to the hair. Pab gave an interesting lecture on the subject during the last Zsummit., you basically record all the definitions on separate layers and then you can mix the effects. I've only just thought about this now and haven't tested it yet but it could be an option...

I already made a similar setup for making my hair - not the same but am impressed with their detail ;3

Very, very powerful. Wow.

Using edit mode to place the curve can make it act unpredictably. You can fix this by adding and editing a lattice modifier. This makes placing the curve act more predictably overall and prevents that HUGE ballooning effect you can sometimes get when curving/twisting the object.

Hey Danny, this was so helpful thank you for sharing, how would I approach shorter hair (say like an asymetric cut) which also has long parts like in this video? Do you have any recommendations for tutorials regarding this?

Hi thanks for the great video. Does this work on the latest version and on iOS? I installed the add on but nothing happened. Thanks

how can I deal with this curve method for 3D printing ? iI mean I am not experience in blender to create this kind of stylez workflow for hair...but I noticed it is very very useful...however...I tryed to put branck of curves in my character and I ve some problems with the tapper of the mesh...I edit the curve a little to put the root of the hair near to the face of the model's head.... thx.

Oh! Nice method! Its remind me a 3DSMax's loft function, but its costs so much xD

Sound's like Terrance and or Phillip from South Park. Great tutorial by the way.

Is there an easy way to consolidate the the mesh after you apply the modification? Something that will dynamically link up interpenetrating geometry making it cleaner to work with

Great tutorial! I had no trouble following in when I tried this out last weekend, but as of this weekend when I tried to use 'Edit Bevel' within the Bevel Curve Tool, I suddenly can't; there are no visible points to move around, whether it be on new curves or old curves that I formally was able to successfully edit. I have a feeling that I've somehow turned off the visibility of these, but I can't figure out how to turn them back on. I thought it was just a matter of toggling 'Hide Bevel Objects' since the little eye icon next to it is closed, but when I click it nothing happens at all (and the eye icon remains closed). I've even tried reinstalling the add-on, but no luck. Google has failed me at this point, so here's hoping that perhaps you've ran into this problem yourself and know the solution?

will "Bevel Curve Tools" work in Blender 2.8 or is there an updated tutorial? ~ Cheers!
