Ornatrix UE BETA: Creating and editing hair inside Unreal Engine

New beta versions of Ornatrix UE allow creation of hair directly inside Unreal Engine Editor. You can also toggle between Ornatrix and native unreal hair. In this tutorial we check out this functionality and touch a little on editing the hair using operators and tools.

Mother of Zeus!!! The impossible! I´m wondering if it will be available in Unreal Engine 5. You guys keep raising the bars!

[@Ephere]

Thank you! And yes, we are targeting UE5 as well.

@@Ephere We appreciate the hard work guys.

[@thijsmertens19]

Sweet Jesus! Are there also tests on UE5, or development focus on 4.? Starting to migrate into 5 would be great to test !

[@Ephere]

Hi, Yes. You should be able to test on UE5 as well. Let us know how it goes.

What kind of video card do you reckon do you need to run this properly ?

Wait... will this work in a packaged game? :D Time to start working on my hair parlor sim.

Hi I'm stuck on the Add Groom button- it seems to do nothing, no hair is visible on my mesh. Any ideas? Demo version, Unreal 5.1

[@Ephere]

Hi, There was a problem with Ornatrix viewport hair display in UE 5.1, which is already fixed in the latest nightly build. Please update the plugin and try again.

[@DChap]

@@Ephere Ok, grabbed the newest and it seems to work. Thanks!

А текстуру отобразить можно на поверхности?

На поверхности откуда растут волосы или поверхности самих волос?

Is it possible to apply directly to a skeletal mesh?

[@Ephere]

Hi, Only static meshes are supported at the moment. Support for skeletal meshes will be added in the near future.

[@supasuoasuoasupa1939]

is this available for testing?

[@Ephere]

Yes, please check the project page to apply

UE Groom hair is TERRIBLE for framerate, maybe showing optimization tps for Groom hair will be a better idea, honestly Groom hair is unusable... specially having just as little as 3 characters in the scene... Framerate can go as low as 10 FPS
