Hair with XGen interactive grooming tools - Maya Labs Ep.01

[@juanpaulomardonez9151]

Thank you for mentioning me and my course!

[@yonesantana]

Hombre! Por supuesto. Y yo te tengo que agadecer ti, que has hecho un curso tan informativo. Cambiaste por completo como me planteo hacer pelo en Maya. Y aun tengo bastante por hacer para quitarle el look de "Toalla" al Sr. Koala. Eso si me gustaria pedirte un favor. Si tienes la oportunidad de hablar con alguien de Domestika, por favor menciona que tienen que mejorar la traducion de los subtitulos al Ingles. Soy bilingue y hay demasiadas faltas de traducciones literales en todos los cursos, no solo el tuyo . Creo que gente mas gente de habla inglesa compraria tu curso si el nivel de traduccion fuese mejor. Bueno te dejo de dar la tabarra. Juan Paulo gracias por todo! Te lo agradezco de todo corazon.

[@grahamhiggins1816]

Well done Maya, they took on-board user feedback and implemented it.

[@RonnieMirands]

You are the best Maya/Arnold teacher, should definitely start a Patreon

[@ChaosWolfNinja]

Great tutorial! Thanks. Well explained and structured. Compared to other tutorials this was very insightful.

[@irenecerezowip]

Thank you very much for the tutorial. Would you know how to make the hair show up in Arnold's ZDepth pass?

[@thdcinema]

Very helpful and informative, look forward to episode 2. Thanks and enjoy your break, Yone.

[@yonesantana]

Thanks, I'm getting ready for more videos

[@snehalpatil8629]

I have problem in exterior day lighting , one short clip on exterior day lighting plz

[@nataly3588]

Thank you so much for this video!! It was very helpful for me to learn the basic setting of Xgen Interactive grooming.

[@adamduma3565]

Awesome video thank you and yes please more Maya Labs

[@yonesantana]

Hi Adam, thanks for your support. I've got big plans for the channel for next year. I hope to make some great content for you guys.

[@robincasey764]

i have this weird problem i can't solve, Xgen doesn't render out in Arnold for me, i see the mesh but as well as the fur and all the grooming in perspective view just fine, can edit everything but it still won't display anything when rendering, besides the mesh itself, was wondering if u have any knowledge of this bug and a way around it, or is it my own fault and im doin' something wrong?

[@yonesantana]

Hmmmm if memory serves me well there might be a setting for your groom in render. Your hair in arnold might be too short to appear in the render. It's been a while, so sorry I'm not too much help.

[@robincasey764]

@@yonesantana it's alright turns out it was just a mel script bug that i worked out and it rendered fine. thanks for ur reply great tutorials btw!

[@lecleration]

Thank you so much this helped my grooming so much better

[@darthriley272]

to animate a model with xgen fur , do i need to separate the fur in another layer ?? or should i rigg all from the beggining and add the fur later on ?? does it work at all?? plsz i need help :1

[@camtienhuynhthi4]

this really what i need to begin with xgen

[@AmitSharma-ke4hr]

Thanks, perfect video for learning Interactive Grooming . Waiting for part 2 :)

[@yonesantana]

Hi Amit, thanks for watching!

[@TheIcemanModdeler]

Thanks for sharing, almost finished my character and did s lot of research on both Xgen Core and IGS. With this character I decided to go with Core due to my character having long hair and Core has better interpolation and is more stable. IGS unfortunately was never finished, it still doesn’t have clumps per guides, it’s buggy sometimes, it’s slower than Core and doesn’t have a hair percentage option. Selecting thousands of hairs can get a bit tricky with the masking tools but it does work. The clump modifiers also looks better in Core than IGS. Usually what one does well the other doesn’t and vice versa.

[@ngonic]

Thank you so much! Your video helped me understand XGen interactive groom

[@yonesantana]

Glad it helped!

[@aamg1992]

you never continue it ? 😥 it was so good

[@EliaForce1984ita]

How can I make the fur have a different color on certain areas?

[@grahamhiggins1816]

Texture image in the colour

[@sajans3998]

how did you give color to the hair?like rose inside ears?

[@yonesantana]

Mesh has to have UV's and add a texture. Xgen should inherit the colour from the texture on the mesh based on the UV coordinates.

[@grahamhiggins1816]

Is there a way to apply the groom to another object if you import it?

[@CarlosSantos-qn8oc]

How can beard, hair and overall hair accompany the facial blendshape or squash and stretch of a character's animation ?

[@ВладиславКотельников-я1и]

Hello, what are the differences in using interactive grooming and description?

[@gwhiteooo]

Great tutorial! I have a question, if i already have a rigged model, can i add fur to it and the rig will act the same? Thanks!

[@darthriley272]

i have the same question, do you got it answered ?

[@sullivanimation]

Hey there! I was wondering.... if I use interactive groom splines to create a fur description for a character, and i update the UVs on the character mesh, it doesn't seem to update them on the fur description. Is there a way to update UV placement on the fur description without having to create a new one?

[@ZachGrzymala]

Part 2 sounds great!

[@merna9615]

Thank you sir for your effort it was a really helpful video

[@AmitKumar-te6vw]

Just found your channel, great find. Why have you stopped uploading new tutorials? You won't believe I am making a 3d model of a rabbit and was wondering what to do with body hairs and moments later your channel was in my recommended feed, I didn't even do any search.

[@KoopsTech]

Wow looks great! Will be using this for sure. Thanks!

[@yonesantana]

Thanks for watching

[@danwilliamswillow141]

Where are second part?

[@ShaneCasserly]

What is the difference between this method (interactive groom) and the "create description" method of grooming?

[@yonesantana]

You can use the XGen description to make many more things besides hair. While the interactive tools focus on a subset of tools only for creating hair.

[@JohnSlaughterND]

Was there ever an Ep 02? This is amazing.

[@yonesantana]

Errr, there is 1/2 an episode on the editing table. But COVID hit last year and priorities changed. Sorry about that. I was looking forward to continuing

[@renji104]

Thanks for the videos. They are very useful for me.

[@yonesantana]

Thanks for watching.

[@wrestlekastle4941]

Sir how to animate the hair to bones

[@seencapone]

Can you please do a follow-up on how to attach the hair groom system back onto the character rig?

[@ShaneCasserly]

I saw a method online that had the groom on a seperate copy of the animated model. after the groom was completed the artist used a wrap deformer onto the animated model.

[@nitintank1823]

Please release part 2

[@yonesantana]

More Maya Labs videos will be coming in early 2020. I don't have a current release date, but you can use notifications to be notified when the next episode is ready. Hopefully it won't be too long.

[@Tariqsbeinati]

[@yonesantana]

Thanks for letting me know.

[@ShivamSempai]

Hello Sir. How are you. Didn't see you from a very long time.

[@MichaelHurdleStudio]

Bro, this is one of the best xgen lessons on KZbin. Thank you for this. I hate xgen! it's to buggy and unreliable most of the time, but when it works, it produces some really good-looking hair. I was wondering! Do you know if xgen hair will show up in unreal engine 5 once the hair is converted into hair cards? That's the real reason why I'm doing the hair in xgen so that I can export it into unreal engine 5. Any suggestion on that method? Thanks for the video.

[@zoygas]

What version of maya are you using?

[@yonesantana]

Hi Zoygas, I made the video with Maya 2019. I believe the interactive grooming tools are available since Maya 2018.

[@nictanghe98]
