Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 20, 2013 Hash Fellow Posted January 20, 2013 That is curious looking. Groomed hair can't keep its shape with dynamics? Quote
mtpeak2 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 Oops, I had "Is Rod" turned off. But, depending on how stiff you set it, it will lose some of the grooming. The hair guides are just that, a guide, it tries to hold the shape. Quote
NancyGormezano Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Interesting approach to futzing with the hair guides. Looks like a lotta work. NEAT Serg! I would think it would be possible to add a new properties to the hair material to allow for curls and wavy hair and still be able to groom the hair without losing its shape, just like kinkiness. I've used a variety of image based hair emitters (with Y repeat), in combo with kinkiness settings, shape (thickness hair profile) to get a curly-q type look (may be too stylized for you). I also combine it with decal driven color for more variation in the strands. depending on how stiff you set it, it will lose some of the grooming I set use gravity = OFF for dynamic constraint, Rod = on, and I find it will return to the groomed look (stiffness = whatever you want). The first image shows different examples for the image used for the hair emitter (same hair material, with changes for image for emitter and image used for color decal). The hair emitter image may have repeat settings (5-10 in Y). I only have 2 cps for the hair guides so the dynamics is probably too stiff in the movie. dynamich264.mov Quote

steve392 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Thats looking good and moves really well Quote
John Bigboote Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Along this topic... here is a test I did some years ago where I groomed the hair into a 'bun' and used a pose-slider to adjust the amount of 'hold'... so the hair could loosen entirely from the groomed pose to a zero-groom state where it falls freely. hair_test.mov Quote
steve392 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 That works really well ,nicesly done model aswell .How do you mean change the hold ,did you alter the hair in the grooming ,while in a pose ? John steve Quote

John Hi Steve, thanks! Trying to remember... I don't even know where that model is today- been so long(2006?) I'm quite sure that I groomed the hair in the model and then made a new pose (1-100%) where the stiffness changed from 75% to zero... and animated that pose in the choreography. When I posted it back then it gathered absolutely no interest, I remember that. Quote
steve392 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Thank.s John ,no interest I cant believe that its a great looking model and that hair is real good .I would pay for a model like that Ive been trying to get something like that forever ,it has the betty boop look Quote
NancyGormezano Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 When I posted it back then it gathered absolutely no interest, I remember that. I'm guessing that nobody noticed her hair pose jiggling. Quote
steve392 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 I got something along the lines but not so good just a test ,will need more time on it hair_redchange.mov Quote
steve392 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I got this so far ,I think its looking a lot better hair_redchange_2.mov Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 23, 2013 Hash Fellow Posted January 23, 2013 I got this so far ,I think its looking a lot better Beautiful hair! Quote
Kamikaze Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Does look nice ....hair movement and some other things.... Quote
steve392 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Thanks a lot guys .Its amazing what hair can do really Quote
steve392 Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Thanks a lot John,heres a bit better animation but the model don,t compare to the one you posted ballet_3.mov Quote
John Bigboote Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 but the model don,t compare to the one you posted Who says? Your constant rate of improvement is also impressive. A test I was going to make next (If I find time) would be to make a hairstyle that utilizes the new hair (like you have here) and the OLD hair as discussed in that other thread... maybe you (or someone) will beat me to it...

steve392 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 That would be very interesting ,I realy like the look of the old type hair,but could never to to grips with using images to drive lenth and such .Hopefully you find the time and maybe a tut on it that would be graet John Quote
aen916 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Amazing work with hair! I can never get my hair to come out right. I am working on some cartoon animals and just can't quite seem to get the hair correct. Quote
steve392 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Have you tried shag instead of hair for animals ,it may work better depending on what your after Quote
