Ox Maya V4 BETA: Clump Shape Editing

Ornatrix provides a way of brushing whole groups of strands at the same time. This can be useful for editing shapes of hair clumps and sub-clumps without destroying the overall clump shape. This tutorial explains how.
Ornatrix is a complete hair, fur, and feathers solution for Autodesk Maya

Hi, question: I wanted like to use Ornatrix for painting and styling hair... but now I figured out that UE5 Groom system its to expenssive in FPS, so I am gonna go back to haircards, my question is: May I use Ornatrix to paint pre designed haircards, like an instancer, and also style haircards (Not create haircards from hairs.... I already have my own haircards, just want to paint them) and if possible, how?

[@Ephere]

There are many haircard workflows with Ornatrix. I'd recommend watching CharlyTutors (Andrew Krivulya) videos, he covers quite a bit on this subject

@@Ephere thank you but he doesn't use Ornatrix for haircards... he uses Coiffure, the GS toolkit and manually placing them, I did found an Ornatrix to meshes technique, but he is basically creating new meshes from guides, and I already have my haircards, just wanted to place those with Ornatrix and style them with ornatrix, because new meshes UVs wont work propperly with my hair textures, I though we could convert the new Ornatrix meshes into hair textures, but he skips it, probably is not possible, and you will have to adjust your own textures UVs, to fit Ornatrix meshes.

but how can i export Groups when i use groom from mesh strip as alembic ？

[@Ephere]

You can export groups with our Alembic exporter. It depends on how you will use the exported file afterwards though.
