New Hair Dynamics Tutorial! 💞

[@zubyyynaijaaa2677]

Top ten most unexpected voices on a blender tutorial

[@Elcamino_5]

lol

[@domenicksdesigns6417]

I've been watching a bunch of tutorials for hair physics and this one was probably one of the best; straight to the point, simple, easy to follow. Thank you so so very much!

[@heavybattle6650]

Thank you for not cracking a million bad jokes, placing in animations that go with the jokes, not speedrunning through the explanation, vocalizing every action and keeping the whole video straight to the point

[@AriaFaithJones]

💕💕💕

[@patrickpope4655]

Wow! Thank you for these tips. The collisions get me every time and I tested these out and they really improve performance and collision detection!

[@chokerzin]

Thank you so much! I've been struggling with hair going through my mesh for so long. This was incredibly helpful!

[@keithbrown7726]

Aria you always give such detailed descriptions about your work. Which I really appreciate all your time and effort. You've shown me how to use hair now Instead of my hair on items just being like sticks poking out which are a little bendy lol. Big ThankYou to you for another Great Tutorial.

[@gaston.]

fantastic info, thanks for sharing! I was pulling my hair out. ;) trying to solve my exploding hair problem. No other tutorials addresses these dynamics.... .... I was still having issues with my hair disappearing or exploding since my character was both small (to scale of a small toy) and it had sudden movement. (hit by object) I needed to turn down my Emission segments to 6 (stiff curly hair) and increase Quality Steps...(pushed it all the way up to 80). Your tips on changing the vales of the collision object were valuable.. I turned my surface numbers down and it finally worked... thanks again.

[@ramonoliveros9787]

wow muchas gracias por tu video, recien empiezo en blender y tu video me ayudo mucho con la animacion de cabello

[@cyber_robot889]

[@MikeBurnsArrangedAccidents]

This is the best hair tutorial I've seen, not just for animating hair but for making it in Blender.

[@AriaFaithJones]

Aww I’m so happy it was helpful!! 💕

[@ogcontraband]

Great tutorial. This method worked the best for me too, I found the quality settings to have less jitter problems at lower numbers for the second quality field. Mine seemed to work better if I raised the KG physical weight in those settings and the pinning is extremely important- pinning seems to be how much it tries to conform to you hair stylings vs physics

[@g-git]

[@monstermash1571]

Aria, you're the best! When you referred to Hair exploding in the beginning, that was definitely a reference to one of my comments! We talked about this a while back! Hair dynamics have been the bane of my existence for the last 6 months so, Thank you so much for posting this video, its honestly surprising how few good tutorials there are about hair dynamics in Blender! I still go back to your earlier Hair simulation tutorials to this day, cause they are some of the best on KZbin. You didn't cover it in this video, but I'd like to get your take on one thing, under "Hair Shapes" What do you think looks best for renders for human hair? I have the default settings, "Strand Shape 0.0" , Diameter, 1m. and Tip at 0, Diameter Scale at 0.01 and, Closed tips are checked. What settings would you say look best in the final product? Thanks again, and here's to 20k Subscribers!

[@marcus_ohreallyus]

I think the thing a lot of hair systems is missing -- and this goes for Blender, Cinema 4d or whatever -- is a good self collision system which will allow clumps to pile up on top of one another. I don't like when the roots of hair further down on the skull are showing through because the hair at the top of the head is laying directly in the same space. The hairs cross over one another and it looks unrealistic.

[@JaySamurai79]

Hi I got a question and would really appreciate if anyone could help. So I'm creating a cinematic animation that I hope to bring into UE. I've completed the animation and will start clothing my character in MD. Once I'm finished with the clothes I was hoping to use this method for the hair, but would I then be able to bring the hair animation into 3ds max and UE? Thanks

best hair simulation tutorial so far . others are seems to be working on another software

[@jdt3556]

This is great tutorial! I've been grooming hair for quite some time now buy i never touched hair dynamics becauae it makes my pc lag and there's too few videos with tutorials about this. Just a question tho, what should I do if i have a character with a separate clothes like Daz 3D? How should I set the body mesh and the clothes as the collision to avoid the hairs going inside the clothes?

[@kobi2643]

thanks but what you did on 10:00 when you get boost to 3 fps + collision above that? few seconds ago you got 1 fps without collision enabled

[@mateussalviano3439]

I didn't even watch the tutorial, I was having an issue with the hair jittering while resting on top of a static mesh, on the beginning of the tutorial I see that your collision distance is very low, I did the same and everything worked fine, lol, thanks.

[@Mr_Mijagi]

Great tutorial! I ran into one problem though. My hair jitters eben if the base mesh is not moving. And idea how to solve that problem?

[@vishalvijay8085]

[@elvismorellidigitalvisuala6211]

Followed step bys tep, but if I activate collision, hairs explode. I've find a lot of people have this problem there' s a solution?

This is soo helpful! Pls do one tutorial about how to make hair styles.... that is something I need and I can find it!! Hope u will consider this..... 😍😍🥰🥰🥰

[@ThomasandDBZ2010]

Hi Aria. This is a very helpful tutorial, though I tried to follow along on the video when I was making my own character. It helped a bit, but only the hair stretched sideways, so is there any way to fix it? Thank you.

[@thisismyshow9697]

Any way to get the hair to spawn in symmetrically or cob them in a generally symmetrical pattern?

[@StephGV2]

Excellent tutorial. Every other hair tutorial treats hair as if it's a sculpted helmet that no one simulates. One thing I learned: only use one collision object. Make a dupe of the body if you have clothes and scale the skin outside of the clothes. Otherwise, explody hair with a body and clothes as collision objects.

[@squibblejack]

Also when using multiple point cache's, or even just one particle system with one cache, its a good thing, and habit to name the cache's. That will resolve particle hair explosion issues, I have found, by reading the blender user's manual.

[@AriaFaithJones]

Great tip! 💕🤗

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

Just tried it. Nothing changed. Hair explodes like always.

[@squibblejack]

@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Make sure you save the file. And keep saving the same file after wards, till your hair sim is rendered out. That is how I have had success. After I get my hair scene in, then I proceed updating my file and directory.

I hope you answer me and help me please Every thing its great and cool ,but when I add the collosion to my character the hair goes wrong and stretch and disappear So is there any solution 🤔 Thanks 🌹

[@jamiexport]

'Ctrl A' on Windows keyboard and 'Apply Scale'. If you've followed what she's said in the tutorial, it should fix it in this one step.

[@jonathanbaincosmologyvideo3868]

the reason for exploding hair is that you must never ffwd thru frames that have not been generated 1 at a time - avoid this by turning off hair dynamics while working on the rest of the scene - only have hair dynamics on when you a ready to play it thru 1 frame at a time from the start - after baking, you can go back to editing the rest normally so long as that edit does not effect the hair directly

[@GemboyTV]

i am now ready to apply hair dynamics, what i do next? thank you

[@jonathanbaincosmologyvideo3868]

@@GemboyTV after you are satisfied with the hair dynamics, you must bake it

[@kellyvill9413]

Ok thanks but what the solution? Design the hair again from scratch without the dynamics switch on? What resets it?

[@kellyvill9413]

I found "delete edit" but the hair still explodes 😞

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

Yep, I did it that way. The hair still explodes. I can't find a single tip or explanation that stops it from happening every single time.

[@Aqua_Films]

How did you get the "Collisions" drop down under Hair Dynamics? I only have "Structure" and "Volume"

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

It's probably a different version. Every time a new version of Blender comes out, the helpful gremlins who made the thing move everything around so your prior knowledge becomes useless.

[@MichelleSnow16]

Hi. Amazing tutorial! May i ask what type of computer you use for this? My animations take days to render and bake. Thank you.
