Blender 2.8 - Character modelling 07 - Hair grooming

[@sGabrielJ]

1tip, just select scalp of character and separate , no need to retopology again just for hair

[@otohime8516]

if the topology of the head is right, if not this tip is unecessary, cause the hair will be a mess

[@satauran]

+1 for the use of krita... and for your great tuto to :)

[@zulfi8791]

when I made hair particle, sometimes it penetrate the top head mesh oftenly on parting (so it looked bald on starting point) how to deal with that?

[@LancePhan]

turn on deflect emitter in the tool setting panel but that will cause some problems especially around the forehead area where the scalp mesh end. In this video. To truely solve the problem, you just have to get good and turn off the deflect emitter.

[@reezlaw]

@@LancePhan Or duplicate part of the head and make it a collider

[@Soorbsoorbsoorb]

Thanks for the tutorial, but it's soooo fast it's impossible to really see what you're doing and what you're choosing at each step. Can you please please do a slower version possibly. It's quite hard to follow it. Even with constant pausing every 5 seconds, I still feel like I'm not getting the full content of the steps. Thanks so much.

[@LancePhan]

This series is not meant for beginners, I said it at the beginning of the series.

[@arandomlizard3411]

Eleven in season 1 vs season 3

[@murrowboy]

is some hair better sculpted in? If you know it's in a pony tail and it'll never move anyway?

[@LancePhan]

it's not better or worse, it's just a different approach to the hair

[@jojobee228]

is it possible to export characters with hair to game engines like Unity as alembics?

[@vincgordo5861]

yes, check : blenderartists.org/t/hair-simulation-export/701066

[@imix3d]

Great work my friend, thanks for sharing

[@lorepop5080]

Hello. When I set up the children to Interpolated or Simple, the children get all over the place in wrong directions. How can I fix it? Please help

[@xMariki]

How did you make the Mesh of the sculpt this fast? Do you use some special Add-ons?

[@MrBarnz]

You select your character then go to edit mode and select the portion that you want to make the scalp, then duplicate it by Shift and separate it by P, there you go

[@letterborneVods]

She just looks so gorgeous 🥺

[@monkeyrobotsinc.9875]

nah. her eyes are too big and her mouth is too small.

[@letterborneVods]

Monkey Robots Inc. that’s subjective. Also, it’s called “stylized” art or something like that (not a native speaker), so it’s normal that the proportions don’t match a realistic face

[@johnsmith56920]

Hi, I see you are a master of the procedural textures. Congrats and many thanks for that. If you are looking for a challenge, can you do these hair on the side of a thigh with a procedural texture? It is a real life texture that I can put on my rendering but I’d like to go procedural so the machine does the work for me. If you can, can you give us a tutorial for it? Anyway thanks and once again congrats. Your tutos are a pleasure for the thinking man.

[@johnsmith56920]

How can I show a picture here?

[@pop2147]

how did you make joint at the node tree?

[@demon__adrian393]

how do you get the weight paint to go blue and show where you are painting?

[@pasjavachannel410]

I want to learn a lot from your tutorial, thank you

[@dusanpaulovic1862]

You said that hair distribution of Blender is terrible... But all you need is to apply shade smooth on your mesh... Blender just follows your normals.

[@LancePhan]

that's not the thing, shade smooth fix the direction of the hair but not the distribution. If you look closely you can see some parts have more hairs than the others no matter the shading

[@wowersdh1]

8:15 to make guide hair, I can't select hair like yours. I keep press select box and make drag select in particle edit mode, not a single hair selected. I'm stuck here :(

[@LancePhan]

Hit 2 to change to the keys display first, in this beta version, the keys are just 1 pixel so it's hard to see

[@wowersdh1]

@@LancePhan thanks!!

[@mockthestars]

i saw everything, but without the description of your actions is pretty much useless

[@martok2112]

Agreed.

[@Stevon2012]

The only thing I learned is that he is good with blender hair, lol

[@Jonah_Anthony]

I don't know if this is supposed to be a tutorial as much as it is him showing you his creative process and workflow

[@Stevon2012]

@@Jonah_AnthonyGood point, I agree. He should do a tutorial, imho, he's very good. I would like to learn more.

[@yurialves9582]

The video is not a tutorial, is just his process. You don't see a time lapse expecting it to be a tutorial.

[@jkartz92]

why we need to create a scalp mesh for hair, why not create hair on main mesh itself?

[@LancePhan]

The scalp can maintain a sharp hair line at the forehead, I can control the hair line however I want, I can also change the topology of the base mesh. I can't do any of those if I add the hair directly to the base mesh

[@jkartz92]

@@LancePhan so what's the procedure for mustache, beard, eyebrow and eyelash

[@Chachumbabub]

@@jkartz92 He's done that in the 3rd video of the series.

[@roygatz]

where do I find merge by distance? The sub menu to determine distance apart just doesn't show up at all

[@LancePhan]

the particles must be close enough for the merge by distance to run before the sub menu shows up. So just add a bunch of particles until the merge by distance run, then you can set the distance

[@Joh00226]

how do u increase the steps while in particle edit mode in 2.8?

[@LancePhan]

there is a "path step" number in viewport display section where you change the brush setting

[@Joh00226]

Lance Phan yes saw that they added it had a week old build And it wasent there, but saw it on todays download!

[@sizlax]

What ya did there with drawing polys on the entire scalp, seemed a tad unnecessary.. Why not just select the portion of the scalp that you want the hair on, and copy the faces? Might still require moving some vertices or maybe even adding a few polys to get the shape right, but it'd be a lot less work than that.

[@bastigust3182]

Composition the hair is so damn hard LuL I dont get it

[@LancePhan]

yes, the hair is very hard, you need to get good.

[@leatherandpoemscharmyman5774]

hi where should I find hair bsdf node?

[@nikkitol5271]

u have to change ur render to cycles

[@jeffg4686]

Nice hair shader

[@zerohaokip1867]

How to select portion of head for hair...how do I do..I am new

[@LancePhan]

In the Object Data tab, create a vertex group, go to edit mode, select the vertices and click assign, then go to the hair particle setting, scroll down to the vertex groups section, in the density, chose the vertex group you created

[@a.b1293]

May I ask how were you selecting each strand?

[@firebatethan]

hover on the strand and type L

[@EEEEEE1337]

10/10 video

[@haroldinho420]

how do you do that at 24:13

[@someshv739]

Perfect!

[@theodoreroosevelt6439]

How did you get it to live render at 13:35 ?

[@theodoreroosevelt6439]

Nevermind. I had to check the "Children" box under "Path Steps" in the "Active Tool and Workspace Settings" tab while in "Particle Edit" mode.

[@annatutova]

[@emyboybeats4330]

you didn't make the video with beginners in mind

[@LancePhan]

at the beginning I said that this series is not for beginner.

[@elijahroyaie]

useless bro.. you spent this much time combing rather than technical stuff.. combing depends on hairstyle but technicals are the same for almost every hair.

[@carloscaldeira4448]

Since Blender is free I think everything in it should be free too...

[@Solomon_Amoasi972]

So you mean coders wasting their precious time to code and build add-ons should also give it our free? Sigh!!! This type of comment pisses me of anytime I see this. You choose not buy add-ons but you wanna speed up your workflow, atleast buy developers some cup of coffee.

[@LancePhan]

By that logic, Blender artists shouldn't make money and if they want to make money they should switch to Maya which kill the purpose of Blender

[@carloscaldeira4448]

I never liked Autodesk and its products

[@zulfi8791]

since life is free, I think u shouldn't get any wage after working right?

[@et_designs]

Well said Zulfi
