Grooming in XGen - Pedro Pascal "JOEL" (Timelapse)

[@JUYAN16]

This is really great example of how you're hair, from your head to your eyebrows, also determine the shape of your face.

[@AranHM]

This is absolutely fantastic, thank you for sharing Sefki.

[@vishwasraj1341]

You are so encouraging with your master work. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

[@lian0013]

Wish you would make a tutorial on the hair shading techniques. Making grey hairs are so confusing...

[@AndreH3d]

Impressive work as always!

[@mordecai1484]

Oh man, what a work. very professional. I know this is rendered in arnold, but Is there a chance you might create any tutorial in the future regarding, how to use Metahuman shaders for our own characters in UE5? I'm still very new to unreal and really want to learn how to render my characters in it. Thank you.

[@sefkiibrahim3D]

Yes totally! I want to do a series on it

[@mordecai1484]

@@sefkiibrahim3D Amazing! I'm gonna keep an eye on it then. like the Sauron on a ring.

insane!

[@nurbek.3d]

Awesome work 🔥🔥🔥

[@peterrandall6761]

amazing work! how are you drawing your curves? it looks like your using some kind of a pen tool instead of placing the curves

[@jenishjanuzakov617]

Amazing 🤩🤩🤩

[@ridewithme4965]

loved 😍

[@sajjanaryal5999]

fantastic work sefki! can I know how you take those white hairs back to unreal as they are randomly generated i guess?

[@lematt16]

great work as always, can you descibe your workflow for shading hair in Arnold, I see you use Aiuserdata to transfer the random white color, where is random attribute on the Xgen? if you don't mind sharing that could be helpfull. thanks for the great motivation work.

[@jkartz92]

Why is it advised always to have a separate mesh as scalp for facial hairs and head hairs? why not right onto the model?

[@fecorautha]

Outstanding work! Can I ask you which version of Maya you work in? Because I'm trying 2024 but I really have too many bugs in xgen. Some tests in 2023 seem to give better results

[@eddieresquivel3544]

crazy men!!!!!!

[@mdoumdou4085]

Dear Sefki, you did fantastic work! I am asking why I can not render Xgen in MAYA Arnold, I have lighting standard hair no changing colour.

[@sefkiibrahim3D]

It's hard to know the reason without seeing the scene. Feel free to message me with screenshots so I can help

[@juanayala4678]

increible

[@lucia-fj6nc]

wow

[@Giga3D811]

Lovely work as always! I cant help but imagine how long and arduous it must have been using that buggy pos xgen.

[@sefkiibrahim3D]

You kind of get used to the bugs after a while and know how to avoid it (for the most part)

[@nisianglian6263]

OMG so cool! Will you do the skin detail process video in the future?

[@sefkiibrahim3D]

Yes I will!

[@mikhailboiko676]

Very good job, you are great) Is it possible to find a video somewhere without acceleration?

[@sefkiibrahim3D]

I'm afraid not since I deleted all the videos after I created the timelapse - it was a lot of data 😅

[@4uuuu]

Crazy

[@Imran_Art]

Greate job Ibrahim. I dont really understand how is that possible, I struggle with xgen , but I get incomprehensible errors, there is little information, but you just do it without straining. I dont really understand why can't I get my character's hair done without any problems. 🤔

[@sefkiibrahim3D]

I think I know how to work around most errors now - it just comes with experience. I had multiple crashes along the way, I just cut them out haha

[@nagatoRL]

Hi, I've been trying to learn Xgen for a while. I'm always getting issues with it. When I try to paint and save density map, Maya hangs and crashes. Please help!

[@DynastyUK]

Ooo I want to see a liam Neeson

[@Mhsn_ar]

great . can we export xgen to 3dsmax ?

[@Sul_Shadw]

Seeing the final render gives me so much motivation to become a better artist.. also did you use the metahuman materials for the eyes ?

[@sefkiibrahim3D]

Yes using the eye material, replaced the textures with my own

[@cmj8687]

HELLOW IBRAHIM I want maya line_up camera fov set up Can you tell me please?

[@nicolassequeira2818]

Awesome work !!! what scale do you use for the head ??

[@sefkiibrahim3D]

If you import a metahuman into Maya it's that scale :)

[@christianlee1423]

could you please share the tool u used to create the hair curves in the head?

[@sefkiibrahim3D]

it's the paint FX tool in Maya. If you select some geometry and select 'make paintable' under the generate tab, then select the tool under the same tab you can draw these guides. Then select them and convert -> paint effects to curves.
