Making Dreadlocks With Xgen

[@AtlasGorman]

I was using xgen for the first time for an assignment in my simulations class, this has saved my life, your tutroital is so well done, still holds up in Maya 2025

[@romanticide_art]

thank you! really glad to hear that. I hope everything goes well with your studies :D

[@AtlasGorman]

@@romanticide_art my professor really liked it. Moving onto do looser curls. Next semester I’m taking a portfolio prep class and figure out I love xGen enough to do hair for a whole semester

[@ericg968]

There's so many artists that charge for this type of content, thanks for sharing!

[@kewa_design]

This is an insane tutorial 👀🥰 love it, you explain very good

[@romanticide_art]

Thanks, now that i have a bit more time, I think I'll start with a basic tutorial with xgen as this is a bit more advanced.

[@NoRobotico]

Thank you, this tutorial was really helpful.

[@anilbhairi9077]

Awesome Tutorial ! One question though When you generate your hair it grows around the guide in a circular pattern, but when i generate hair, the result is flat hair around the guide, not circular like yours around the guide. Any way around this. Please help

[@tairyashar9597]

so simple yet impressive

[@Skrool23]

Thank you for this VERY GOOD tutorial!!!!!!!!!

[@gdl-nik]

Thank you. Amazing quality. I am creating game in Ancient Egypt, and trying to figure out how to make Dreadlock Wigs. This video should help.

[@romanticide_art]

Good luck! play with your settings and always save your guides as curves :P

Thank you so much

[@kingalonsoiv]

Hey amazing tutorial. while creating the full hair I realized that xgen doesn't create hair on some of the guides, have you experienced this? what could be the solution

[@Hershey.barbie]

Amazing tutorial 🙏💕 Wanted to ask if you might know a way to make appropriate hair cards for these

amazing tutorial!

[@deepakmandal6005]

Awsome, thanku

[@VertexCarver]

Wicked breakdown. ^^ Makes me wonder how it'd look converted into interactive groom & exported into UrE5. I still havn't looked into how heavy that type of newer groom workflow is. Anyone know?

[@romanticide_art]

Hi, yes, in fact I think it is always good to convert to interactive groom for ease of use. You should have a separate Maya file just for legacy Xgen. I've exported all the grooms (and it was quite heavy) into Unreal. I've not yet seen how it interacts with Lumen; this will be key. Right now, the alembic cache workflow isn't perfect. I think I will do a tutorial for this :)

[@AustralianTakeOver]

is there anyway to get files from you to try implementation into Unreal engine 5? Thank you.

[@romanticide_art]

Hey, you'd need the groom and the bind mesh. I would like to share all the files in the tutorials i make, I'll look into how to prepare this. maybe via gumroad.
