How to create facial hair for your 3D model

[@TheWaitingRoomTWR]

this might be the greatest tutorial of all time, every facial hair video was so complicated, but this is so simple - thank you!

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thank you !

[@Doc2rjae07]

Great Lesson MH

[@krishnasrivastav8048]

Nice creating hair sir wow

[@Zenovarse]

Never thought youd go for xgen for hair though. Mesh hair just seems lighter and still handles dynamics well. Oh well. Great tut as usual.

[@MHTutorials3D]

I did this tutorial because someone asked me to

Good tutorial. I have one problem . The problem is xgen guide look right but hair in Arnold render look bit strange. So how can I render hair which looks like hair instead of plan long card.

[@oklavamusic]

Hi, thanks a lot for very clear and great tutorial :) I have a question, I made my character's hair in maya nhair, but xgen is clearly easier to work with. Now I'm gonna make beard but render time is very important to me because final shot will be 3 minutes long. could you please compare nhair and xgen on render time? which one would take longer?

[@warriormaddy420]

big like mike sir you are awsome

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thanks Maddy

[@ghiday3695]

Nice thanks mate. How do you get you're model?

[@MHTutorials3D]

It's a free download off www.turbosquid.com

[@CarlosSantos-qn8oc]

Hello How do you animate character (blend shape) with XGEN (beard eyebrow)?

[@laissez-faire496]

When i move the model, the hair doesn't move with it...Do u have any tips on how to fix that

[@MHTutorials3D]

I will do a follow up tutorial

[@theosguy]

Have you made the follow up tutorial?

[@eralp6320]

but how to export it to 3d model, for ex as obj?

[@salmanalbaieny5443]

thank you :) But hair does not appear to render

[@bcrbdb]

how to make the splines collide with the mesh when you are grooming ? So the splines don't enter inside the mesh

[@MHTutorials3D]

Select collide and self collide in the attribute editor

[@UKShocky]

how do i convert this to polygons?

[@JuanPNavarrete]

Thnks, but what are your recommended settings for mental ray rendering?

[@MHTutorials3D]

That depends on what I am rendering

[@JuanPNavarrete]

This particular case with hair. Thanks

[@MHTutorials3D]

Yes, I know but indoors, out doors, night , day ?

[@JuanPNavarrete]

the thing is that my concern is more about mental ray and hair than lighting, is there any configuration on the xgen hair that should be changed so that it is properly rendered with mental ray? I´ve had trouble rendering it with MR. Thanks

[@devincollins3351]

I'm just curious. Can a user turn XGEN into mesh? For game reasons?

[@raging_wild2606]

I believe so. But there might be easier/better options in engine.

[@pandabearlp]

does xgen hair create a higher poly count?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Affter converting to polygons, yes

[@qiuvincent3267]

is it the same way to create the hair?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Using this method, yes

[@qiuvincent3267]

first time to do hair, I thought it will be difficult..... thanks bro.
