THANK YOU A LOT. Before i dont now how scale it and use a third curve for taper. It allow more control,but work with this harder.

with the hair you have along the scalp there, is that like, offset inside of the face a little ? i'm struggling with how to make the hair look like it's attached to the character's head instead of just glued on top x(

[@shouryapaul8515]

If I want to import it to other softwares like unity...can you tell me how to convert the hair to a proper mesh.

[@AWE_some_ZT]

5:20 How do you rotate the hair here Sir?

[@asmrgold]

Hello thanks for doing these very informative tuts. I have a question, at 2:34 when I click on the circle nothing happens. I tried adding a solidify modifier thinking it was an empty shape but still no go. It doesnt even see it in the stack when I look for it manually instead of using the eye dropper ( no selections). Any help would be fantastic.

[@scr1pted143]

a little late but if you still need help, when you create the circle it has to be "shift+A, CURVE, circle" not a mesh circle

[@utana_vid]

@@scr1pted143 Thank you!

[@darkart4fun]

Thanks!

[@poochyboi]

i see alot of videos of this on youtube about how to create stylised hair with curves. but no one has ever talked about how to convert that hair to a low poly mesh thats actually usable for rigging/animation/exporting purposes. curves do an amazing job but even at its lowest resolution, the poly count is just way too high to be usable.

[@HuntsForge]

Thanks great tutorial clear and easy to follow, only slightly disappointed you don’t have a pink beard

[@adamsworld2772]

I have a really important question, is it possible to separate the Bezier Circle from the NurbsPath, like let's say you're making a character in blender and then you have the BezierCircles that are in the way, is it possible to get rid of the Bezier Circles and keep the hair but as a object?

[@StudioKavod]

Yeah, with the hair object selected and in object mode, hit Ctrl +T. That sounds convert to mesh. If it doesn't, search for the convert to mesh option at the top of the 3d viewport

When I clicked the circle is not picking any name and I can't change the path into tube shape I need help

[@Robhearts_]

Is there a method to finalize the hair? I'm trying to see the polygons on it, and I'm not sure how to...

[@JustACrumble]

If you were to use the model for a game in unity, would you convert the hair paths into mesh and add armature bones if you want to make it move?

[@StudioKavod]

Yup, that's exactly what you would do. You might also want to use a decimate modifier to remove some of the vertices from each hair stand

[@JustACrumble]

Thank you @@StudioKavod !

[@GLITCHYSKY228]

amazing, seriously a great tutorial! do you have one for learning blender shortcuts?

[@StudioKavod]

Thanks! At this time I don't have videos talking about hotkeys/shortcuts. However, in most videos I call out the keys I'm pressing and the actions they are preforming.

[@vazak11]

For some reason curve tilt isn't working for me, it says all the numbers are changing but nothing happens, do you know why this is?

[@vazak11]

Don't mind me I figured out its cos I didn't put any details in the circle.

[@JustCurious-ou6gn]

Thank you so much to explain it so simple. You have a new subscriber. In edit mode the hair doesn't rotate to make it curly. How can I fix this?

[@StudioKavod]

If you want the hair strands to curl, you need to use the twist tool on the tool bar.

[@JustCurious-ou6gn]

@@StudioKavod thank you for your quick response! That's helpful. I put it on my character and everything I used ctrl a > scale. However when I do that to the hair it changes position and I can't get it back into the same position. How can I fix this?

[@themotherfrog957]

This questions is really late haahah, but will this method for modeling hair work for 3D printing the object? Thanks!

[@StudioKavod]

It should. Just make sure the ends of the hair strands are closed off. You may also want to add a solidify modifier to prevent the hair from being printed solid

[@themotherfrog957]

@@StudioKavod Thanks! I'll have a go at testing that out

[@nuevostitanes2]

Great video, but after that it is necessary/mandatory to turn the brands into meshes? For a model I want to use in a videogame. Thanks

[@StudioKavod]

Yes, you'll want to convert to mesh and perhaps even use a decimate modifier on them. To turn them to mesh, select them and right click and choose convert to mesh

[@LukeMiddlemas]

Is there a way to join all the hair together for animation or is this just for stationary characters? Thanks for the tutorial.

[@timetraveler3806]

Lucas Demucus if you want to link them together you can press Ctrl J

[@timetraveler3806]

And if u don’t want to link the object again go into edit mode hover your mouse over the object u want to unlink press L then P then choose by selection I think that’s what you mean

[@prodbyANT]

When I select opposite sides of the circle and try to scale or rotate, only 1 side moves. Where did I go wrong?

[@imhk1000]

Sir Pink Beard! I'm so happy to have stumbled across your tutorial series! You're doing a great job.. I love the format. I have a question about this type of hair design.. What do you consider the most practical way to get this hair to animate? Do I parent the path to the characters bones? Or do I need to convert them to mesh first? I'm planning on doing all of my animating inside of Blender, so I don't really need to worry about exporting anything.. Either way, great tutorial. I look forward to seeing many more.

[@StudioKavod]

Honestly, my plan is to convert them to mesh, join them all together and then add it to the body rig. Also, glad you like the video!

[@imhk1000]

@@StudioKavod right on. Yeah my character has long hair and some of it falls down onto his shoulders... I'm wondering how that is gonna look when he turns his head. I guess we'll find out! Thanks again for what you're doing.. Can't wait to see what else you come up with!

[@GhettoBoyz]

I’m stuck at changing the origin point, shortcut is gx2 or what did you say??

[@StudioKavod]

G (to move what is selected), then X (to lock the movement to the x axis), then 2 to move the path all the way over because paths are 4 blender units long 2 on each side of the origin.

[@GhettoBoyz]

SirPinkBeard thanks bro

[@zoeydionne6378]

When I push g x and then 2 in edit mode it looks like what is happening for you but when I scale the path it doesn't snap to the circle?

[@DaCiken]

@@zoeydionne6378 the snapping would only apply out side of edit mode in object mode it works just find

[@wadekenny1723]

With this method is it possible to export the curves into a game engine or at least convert the curves to polygons?

[@StudioKavod]

Yes, check out the other video in the series to see how you'd do that.

[@Kulbaru]

If i join my hair with ctrl+j it gets messed up and deforms weirdly. Does anyone have any idea why?

[@two_dimensional2D]

thx

[@Vaedan]

Hello kind Sir, I am modelling for use in UE4. I changed my blender units to cm and scale 0.01 to match UE units. However not a single tutorial uses these metrics. Do you have any experience in UE imports and can you tell me if what im doing is a good or horrible thing? What settings do you recommend?

[@CinaBloom]

but then do u join all of em?

[@꽈자-z9t]

thanks~!!^^

[@unity3dsimplesolutions309]

too many polygons, how to optimize them later?

[@bipultamang7061]

there's an easy way just make your character bald

[@NonsenseGUS]

so do you just duplicate the little hair mesh you made to use multiple strands or do we have to make one for each strand? (sorry im new to 3d modeling)

[@bunnyhopdotfbx]

I know this is a very old comment, but I just duplicate the hair while it's still a path that way I can adjust each individually but they all have a very similar shape, then I convert them all to a mesh once I'm happy with the overall look

[@vincentnerv]

Guy, You`re Amazing ! So light tutorial! TimeSaver! Sub! I would Recomend You to others!

[@StudioKavod]

Thanks for the sub!

[@zazoreal5536]

Soooo it's alt S not just S......thanks!

[@da_cat]

This method is very bad, my character had 8000 verts, added just 3 strands of this type of hair ... it went up to 19.000 verts ... no thx :))) I'd rather make it myself poly by poly manually. Still great tutorial, liked and subbed

[@StudioKavod]

The trick is to use a decimate modifier when you convert them to mesh. It limits the vert count significantly

[@TheMitchellKeeler]

@@StudioKavod By changing Resolution U under active spline on both the strand curve and bevel shape curve you can change the geometry density before you convert to mesh

[@XboxPlayerPL]

It's not game-ready. Too many polygons.
