Fantastic tutorial, I decimated my david first to help with viewport performance, but had lots of fun playing with his hair. I guess I need to start an instagram now too eh?

[@quilldaprice9898]

@@BlenderTutor General overview would be nice, thank you. I always postponed learning particle and hair systems because Blender devs keep promising node-based particle systems, but now I am not sure how long we'll have to wait. Might as well get familiar with the current system

[@mrlagein3419]

[@toapyandfriends]

I have particle hair I downloaded online is there a way can you do a tutorial on how I could transfer that particle hair which still has the ability to particle edit to the scalp of a character that I will separate from the character if you do the tutorial???... It's nice particle here that I downloaded and the reason why I ask is then I would have a template that I could apply to any character and just put it on there no issues and then just particle edited with the comb brush... I like her moving mouse clicks from my workflow... this channel rocks

[@toapyandfriends]

😎' i'm in particle edit mode does anybody know where the damn "Tease" brush is....The bangs on my girl photoscan are going limp

[@afterapio4014]

thank u

[@Goggalor1990]

Love it! But my computer can't handle it hahaha. Tried to bake the simulation and it crashes every time. I guess simulating dynamics on 400,000 hairs was too much.

[@SHlNOBl3]

when adding hair onto my model, it freezes in place when hair dynamics is turned on, on multiple blender versions, any reason why adding hair freezes?

[@toapyandfriends]

If you're ever having trouble grooming in this tutorial or otherwise really make sure your segments are at 10 otherwise the puff brush won't work perfect

[@norteenx]

how can i make the hair particle follow rig?

[@anishxxi]

I like yo Cut G!

[@RobertChambers1522]

Can this be done with a fibermesh created from Zbrush?

[@lotti2858]

thanks for the tutorial, ive added the collision physics layer yet the hair still passes through the sphere in the render? any suggestions

[@BlenderTutor]

It could be because you don't have enough segments on the hair particles. I would maybe add more and see if that helps, and if not, try to turn up the collision quality in the particle system. The last place I could think to check is the collision settings in the particle tab, though that probably isn't the issue.

[@RodsLusca]

I'm doing the beggining of the proccess, cause when I get to the comb part, my 1060 can't stand lol gonna wait for my 3060 ti which comes tomorrow ;-;

[@sciencejr.652]

Why isn't my particle system working?? when i choose hair, then all the hairs just converge at one point and are not even on the object... pls..help!!

[@DavideDattiloFilms]

Great video!! Enjoy it. Anyone know why when i export the 3d model dont have any hair but are like the original bust?

[@qistinamysarah2514]

hi i followed your steps but when i click on 'hair' like you did on 1.21 the hair didnt appear in solid mode ,but it does appear in render do u know whats wrong?

[@RandomUser00025]

Hey, what if we have two different particle system ? And we want to be colliding with each other? Like one is for the frizz and one is for the main hair?

[@GinoZump]

10:40 oh no, you turned David into SIA

[@luvsweetsuga2232]

What if you want a simulated hair but it's tied with a hair tie? Or at least, a part of the hair is tied with a hair tie?

[@PurujeetBhatt101]

so if i put this hair on my head, my head movement is going to move this hair ?

[@afish2281]

I'm finding it hard for me to make the hair not phase through the object. I did everything in this tutorial but the hair will keep going into the mesh and leave bald spots.

[@howtostartaclothingbrandd]

SET YOUR DEFLECT EMITTER TO 1 on the combs and play around with the numbers that should help it

[@AwesomeGuy772]

Blender Tutor what graphics card do you use?

[@BlenderTutor]

[@HeLIEl]

Can i do this with pre made hair, like from Daz3d, instead of being created from scratch in Blender?

[@bintangjakasurya7686]

Hi, i would like to know if we can slow down the hair simulation like in cloth simulation where you have speed setting? because I want to do slow motion animation with dynamic hair

[@ThomasandDBZ2010]

Hello. I do have a question. When I applied the hair modifier on my own character, I noticed her hair remained black despite when you changed it to blue. How would you enable the hair color display?

[@matiaskritz3113]

Thank you very much for the tutorial, can you tell me why my hair simulation ends in 250 frames, when I have it set to 1000? I can't solve it, and there is no much info, thanks a lot!

[@markoraic1156]

Hey thanks for a great tutorial ! I have a question tho. May I ask you if you plan on doing a specific tutorial for hair dynamics in blender. I simply am not able to get good hair self collisions in blender no matter how much i play with settings. They always seem to interpenetrate. I would like to get a result like the one from the start of your video.

[@unknownfilmmaker777]

I have hair on an object with a wind force field. It grows (more like explodes) to extreme lengths when I scrub through the timeline. This is true even after baking. The other issue is when I go to particle edit mode, the hair is shown as extremely long, going off the edges of the screen, even though it is short in the main viewport. When I cut the hair and then go back to Object Mode, the hair is now mostly gone. Any ideas what is going on? Blender 2.93.1

[@cakar7700]

Hair doesn't showed up in cycles render. In viewport i can see but when i press the render image it doesn't .Please help

[@datwolf4012]

up diameter scale to 1+ (14:50 timeline where you can find this parameter)

[@dwassortedmedia]

For some reason after caching my hair sim, the hair starts to puff out away from the mesh before the source mesh even moves. Then when the model does move, most of the hair stays in place but stretches out. I tried adjusting the collision settings but that doesnt seem to improve anything. Anyone else having this problem?

[@rrgeada]

it was slow because of the head, you could’ve reduced de divisions

[@BlenderTutor]

True! I didn't want to reduce the resolution of the model too much more to avoid losing detail, but I could have had a duplicate head just for the hair that was WAY lower resolution just for the hair animation, then hide it during render.

[@Bendigo1]

I haven't tried this out in a few years. Did they ever update it so that it can be rendered by the gpu?

[@Avetorro]

Great tutorial, but I cant help thinking that head model has 2 million vertices too many. No wonder it slows down your PC!

[@junweidong2448]

Nice tutor. But I am new to hair animation, so here is a little question. You use hair dynamic with particle system, while others use bone rigging with hair(like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYXHg3qQdpmHjqM). I wonder when to use bone rigging or not for hair modeling, especially for blender? (I want to make an animation with long hair with a hairpin, and then the hairpin is taken off while pinned hair would be dropped by gravity)

[@CrystalStationYT]

i don't think bone rigging will work for particle system choose what works best

[@junweidong2448]

@@CrystalStationYT So you mean that in my scenario, it is best to use the particle system solely?

[@CrystalStationYT]

@@junweidong2448 yeah there might be other methods but I doubt bone rigging works for particle system.
