...because you're worth it! Lol ;)

[@shouldhavesaidno7039]

ayee

[@chriscox4029]

Apparently In newer versions of Blender (3.2+) the "Hair Info" node is now the "Curves Info" node. Great Shader... Thanks

[@dustinrolstad752]

Ah! Thanks!

[@islara1792]

the change from strand to strip is breath taking. thank you man.

[@abdallahroozi3527]

Came for the thumbnail

[@mizta6819]

Came to it*

[@h-h1859]

Video is better

[@user-rx3xl7zn1u]

I'd suggest showing the finished work at the beginning of the tutorial before jumping into the actual tutorial.

Here's a tutorial about how to make a tutorial retaining the viewer's interest for 14 minutes (which is a lot of time): first you show the rendered hair in all its splendour. Now, when everbody gets impatient to know how you have achieved this masterpiece, you promise to reveal it soon, and then you go and insert an unrelated and boring message from your sponsor. And when the anticipation grows stronger and stronger, and you can feel the tension in the air, and when you got all the audience mad, stomping with their feet on the ground, tearing and pulling on their hairs, clapping and whisteling, then - jump right into the tutorial inmidst of your hysterical screaming fans. That's how you do it! Not the other way around! ; )

[@RicoCilliers]

The grind is real, fam. (also jokes aside there is no sponsor for this video)

[@paulapazumi]

Hahaha that thumbnail! But yaaaay new tutorial! Really need this at the moment, thank you!

[@nelzster01]

Really smart way you use the shaders to texture the hair.

[@DraconianRain]

I can only get colour working in Cycles but this video was super useful! Glad I found it.

[@RicoCilliers]

glad it helps! yeah blender 2.8 is still a bit buggy, hopefully soon we won't have this kind of problem anymore.

[@DraconianRain]

@@RicoCilliers I hope so to. Despite the bugs it's still so amazing what it can do now with all the changes. After a recent update I got colour working and came straight back to this video.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Man that thumb for the video was COOL, sort of was hoping you would show that model

[@Fin365]

EXACTLY the vid I needed. Excellent teaching. Still useful in November 2020

[@jazzew]

Cool!! I only started using 2.8 some weeks ago, so...this will be fun!! :D Definitely quicker than Cycles...I want to play more with hair!

[@RicoCilliers]

Nice! Good luck! :)

[@YGODueltainer]

blender need to step up their game on the Hair particle department : P, a proper xgen like hair viewport where you can preview the hair with proper specular would be great.

[@carlosedubarreto]

Super cool!!!! thanks a lot, it took away most of my doubts on the hair shading.

[@kayondomartin2170]

Exactly what I needed the day I needed it. Thank you man

[@MrJoatan01]

Thank you so much for this video! Really, that's all I was searching for a week

[@mediafgh9005]

Very usefull tut, everything with EEvee are welcome because time rendering faster, your own tweak are clever, understanding colors and mixing them, however you don't speak about Color Management wich is the best final tweak !

[@_Lily_Lucky]

❤Thanks! I really liked the video

[@ranransun8795]

awesome tutorial, thanks!

[@RicoCilliers]

No worries!

[@nelzster01]

The cover image is brilliant btw

[@animeboy93]

Thanks for telling us about the hair shader being bugged for a while

[@KoKunTe]

this video helped me a lot! thank you very much!

Thanks allot this was super helpful

[@ksunnywazowski]

amazing tutor. thank you!

[@activemotionpictures]

Fantastic walkthrough.

[@yasenkrasen1581]

Great tutorial, thank you

[@RomboutVersluijs]

If you set the indirect lighting options, dont you need to bake it. Otherwise its doing nothing right?

[@relaxinggaming3776]

thanks for this realistic hair

[@VisualistAyush07]

Thank you

[@chcamp]

Super!! thanks!!

[@tcheadriano]

Cool!!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Dont you add an anisotropic shader or effect. I feel that always adds that sort of metalic gloss, looks quite nice

[@Arshaad786000]

can you do an updated complete hair tutorial?

[@RicoCilliers]

I'll see if I can do that soon.

[@pintolagoma3042]

excellent Chewbacca xD

[@jamesprakashjc]

The thumblenail xD

[@ekbergpeter6987]

It would be more interesting if you show how to make strings of different colors instead. Mixing all colors just make one color in the end anyway. So I don't see the reason for all mixing. Except for the toning on the hair length.

[@SussyBoii666]

Hol'Up isn't this the thumbnail of a memerman video?

[@yixinwang3956]

Thank you sir

[@RahfeN]

Very nice tutorial! I may be wrong, but I think your process have some redundant parts. If I can, I'll try to test this hypothesis and came back with results xD (fo better of worse hehehe)

[@RicoCilliers]

No worries, if you find some cool improvements, be sure to let me know in the comments. :D

[@pajalixd4016]

I though this is tutorial for the thumbnail :( Anyway great video :)

[@justfin4245]

Thanks for sharing.

[@QuestsAndChaos]

Great Tutorial. Is there a way to send this shader or the color into Character Creator?

[@RicoCilliers]

Not that I know of but it should be possible.

[@draconicyt2647]

I understand but what if the hair is too laggy for eeve and ur gonna have to hide it in the viewport. I tried rendering with the hair hiding in the viewport but it doesn't show in the render.

[@vazak11]

Cool!

[@JeremJarnex]

video starts at 5:30

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

awesome hair shader thanks. Too bad the dynamics system sucks hard.

[@RicoCilliers]

I feel you!

[@cgvapors963]

When I enable strip in 2.82, the hair disappears completely and won't show up no matter what I do. Doesn't render either.

[@3dwithshubham]

@ricocilliers, Thank you bro this one is made my day🤩

[@Random-sm5gi]

That’s some fucking L’Oréal level or what

[@TommyLikeTom]

I detect South Africanness. "Cilliers", confirmed

[@gquadoffice8123]

this is awesome but, is there a way to export this kind of hair so to be used in a game engine?

[@eknight2904]

If I open an setting for hair from 2.79 to 2.8, the thickness of the hair seems to increase zooming out (the eevee hair is a lot thicker at distance than close up) this might not be a real issue with main hair, but with body hair it makes people into zombies - or am I doing anything wrong and missed a setting? (changing the hair thickness did not do anything for me in 2.8)

[@RicoCilliers]

did you try setting the hair to "strip" as I did at 12:44 ? doing this should allow you to change the thickness of the hair. the "strand" setting just displays a constant thickness as far as I know.

[@eknight2904]

@@RicoCilliers Thank you - that was it, I missed it rushing through, this solved my problem right away.

[@kino_su3destudoseestudios508]

I[m quite sure i´ve followed your steps, but i´m getting fireflies so crappy, any ideas? thanks!

[@bigdwarffrosta7877]

hey I got a question on how could I combine your shader with an opacity maps for hair card? Thank you alot for your video and your help in the comments

[@ekbergpeter6987]

If the hair is growing from the head? Too bad you don't explain how the hair is shaped. Is it a plane or what it grows on?

[@chryssdale5747]

i have to watch this because of the thumbnail

[@anxhelo7383]

The thumbnail xd

[@harganator8515]

I'm pretty new to Blender having come from Maya and this is amazing thank you for demonstrating! I realise this video is over 2 years old though I was still having the same problem with Blender 2.92 rendering the hair black in the Eevee viewport. Is this still the case with the latest version of Blender? I imagine this will be fixed pretty soon. Being able to groom in real time is amazing!

[@RaphaelCatossi]

I'm going to try this when I get home, but I'm having some problems with specular lighting: when working with a bunch of strands, the ones in the back reflect the same amount of light as the ones in the front when looking from different camera angles. Any thoughts?

[@RicoCilliers]

you could try to mask the specular from the back by using a backfacing mask method, (the Input > Geometry node then use the "backfacing" output of that node) but you'll have to google it. either that or higher hair density might work.

[@bigdwarffrosta7877]

hey I just got a question: how could I export particles hair I created to an game engine like unreal engine ? thanks

[@RicoCilliers]

actually I don't think it's possible to use a hair curve system directly from blender inside unreal engine or unity, but you could try a technique like in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inKoYWSaftWGZ9E unfortunately this demonstration is made with a paid addon.

[@bigdwarffrosta7877]

@@RicoCilliers I got it to work with the same addon, but with another method... I converted my particles into hair cardds with that addon and that fixed my issue. But thanks for the help!

[@juliannieorlandostories3340]

But eevee is a pokenom

[@landsknecht_voran]

How did you make that hair?

[@nicknicknicknick1738]

Кто от дофа?

[@Nikol336-CrazyCat]

Я!)

[@ravnOne65]

nice tut. But i realy hope that this is not the final hair quality they are going for.

[@RicoCilliers]

I've no doubt it will get even better :) it's amazing already. Hair used to be incredibly slow, now we have a working realtime solution

[@ravnOne65]

@@RicoCilliers sorry disagree it is far from amazing. Like it is now, you can only use it for distant render, close up will look like crap. sorry for the strong word

[@ravnOne65]

Rico, why did you use strip and not strand, strip looks super fake

[@ashdalat.]

This thumbnail scares me 😒

[@japrogramer]

Why not use the principle hair shader.

[@RicoCilliers]

Currently the principle hair shader doesn't work in eevee. Hopefully that will be fixed soon. :)

[@kino_su3destudoseestudios508]

principle hair shader is raytrace based, eevee is a workaround that can't have raytrace

[@miranomanovic9930]

Hey man. This video is more of "Settings i use" then actual tutorial. The purpose of tutorial is to teach and educate. Mostly, You just told us the settings you use and not explained what settings actually do or change. An advice for future content. Go into more depth about the information. Regards.

[@MrMOGHammer]

nice tutorial but why bothering telling us what is in your scene when we can all see it with our own eyes? Get to the point a bit quicker please.
