@@sarkamari yeah, I'd like to get onratrix, but who has $500 to spare on a single damn hair plug in. lol. Xgen is okay, but it's so damn janky at times.

[@Yassarexe]

As always awesome 🔥

[@gabrielmoro3d]

Is there a way so safely delete guides? Thank you for all the explanation!

[@sarkamari]

It is a a very risky thing to do. Unless you are planning on converting them to polygons I suggest you keep them and just hide them. Make sure not to relocate them, rename them or add prefix to them when uou hide them otherwise they will break. Hope this helps

Sarkamari, You're doing a great job, Please also Include how we Can attach an Xgen to our rigs and rigging processes for Character Developments

[@salazar665]

Amazing and so useful

[@PinoyAnimation]

Pls I need help! How I make the guide thin? Mine are so thick!

[@astilcodex9318]

Your model size is too small. Check his videos series on xgen and scale your model to the size of the training model.

[@DrKnow186]

it's a bit stupid, the hair is always done at the end, it should be possible to change the length of the hair. My object scale is also wrong, when I change the scale I have additional work that I don't want, my objects are paired, what nonsense@@astilcodex9318

[@KamranWorld786]

nice way to learn. Thank You. Please make some tutorials on how to make hair cards.

[@sarkamari]

Glad you found the series useful 💪🏼

Thank you Ali

The moment you click Add Guide to your scalp, the Maya continues to force off. How can I fix it? 😭😭

[@sarkamari]

Sounds like a software glitch. Do upgrade to the latest version and give this a try again

[@simoneriksson6489]

When I click Preview, I am getting the message "No preview visible. The Description is set to use guides, but no guides have been created" although I have placed several guides? I am at a loss...

[@wereissankofa]

Getting the same error 😔😭😭

[@sarkamari]

This usually happens when there is a change in the project folder path or structure where Maya cannot find the location of the guides. I'll explain in great detail via the first video. :)

[@wereissankofa]

@@sarkamari , I've been frustrated today because of this. I'm going to redo the whole project step by step and will give feedback.😅

[@anmolawasthi1394]

@@sarkamari I am having the same problem please tell me how can I fix this

[@sarkamari]

@@anmolawasthi1394 To utilize the selected options effectively, you'll have to start by positioning your splines using the "add or move guides" tool. Then, in the Generator Attributes section, employ the "Specify Points" feature to ensure the generated primitives appear precisely where desired. However, I've encountered challenges maintaining consistency with this workflow. For my XGen setup, I typically opt for the Splines/Randomly across the surface/Placing and shaping guides approach initially, which might align with your previous successful attempts.

"How can we create an Archive Scene for XGen Interactive Groom in Maya? What steps should we take first?"

[@sarkamari]

I need two videos to cover the steps. lol But let's give this a shot: Start by selecting your groom and guides, then go to the XGen Interactive Groom menu and export as an archive. Make sure to choose a proper file path and include everything needed for the groom. After that, you can import the archive into a new scene whenever you need i

[@paragpatil7670]

nice video sir

[@AshishKumar-ut5di]

Hello. Great tutorials for learning Maya. Please start a character modeling series human body for a start having a perfect topology for animation. Kind of a problem for many students topology for good animation. Waiting for your character modeling tutorial. Thanks for teaching 😇
