Are You Using Blender's Hair Assets?

[@superalinath110]

5:01 - You will need to create the weight paint vertex group before adding the any of the quick fur effects for it to show up in the density mask drop down menu.

[@superalinath110]

@@povarensky no worries, it took me a while to work out why it wasn't there :)

[@damnfail9316]

already create it, but it doesnt show in density mask drop down.

[@ventiladordesuco]

I had the same problem. A quick fix is just write the name of the vertex group there and it will recognize it. Remember that the it is Case Sensitive

[@amaexpert]

Thanks!

[@zossua7375]

What about when you make a hair empty?

[@joelwalden5504]

Your tutorial content is really, really exceptionally good quality. Not just good and valuable instruction but well explained and visually very engaging. Thanks for taking the time to make these!

[@cosmicmarauder7716]

I'm stuck in the first 20 seconds

[@spittingame4241]

Yeah because the geometry hair node system is trash. The particle hair system is easier

[@nosirve9458]

geometry nodes hair system is the future@@spittingame4241

[@ericdrob]

yeah. first 17 seconds. doesn't tell you how to get to that search menu. there is a record for tutorial fail here "you just go..." oh thanks for that

[@codeblack4462]

Select the mesh and then hit F3

[@kasairaion114]

​@@codeblack4462 thanks your a hero

[@theftking]

It's completely insane that they made this whole system but didn't add a property to specify the length of the hair (because surely _nobody_ wanting quick fur would _ever_ want to adjust the LENGTH of said fur...) I add quick fur to my mesh and it looks nothing like yours. Super tiny stubby hairs, and no obvious way to make them longer. You'd think "Hair Length" would literally be like... the _first thing_ they included.

[@SouthernShotty]

If you add a trim curves, as the second modifier in the stack, you can control the length that way. It's not super intuitive, but should get results

[@MaximilianonMars]

Thank you @@SouthernShotty this was the info I was looking for.

[@SoggyMicrowaveNugget]

For anyone Struggling with Performance Your UVmap cannot be overlapping for the Hair curves to work, There May be a Work around for using Tiled Textures But I Experienced that issue and Figure I'd share the solution to Help anyone else. My Solution to keep using tiled Materials was to 1. Make a new UVmap on my Object and use smart project to unwrap it and enable that 2. Ad my Hair curve systems 3. switch the Object back to the UVmap I want enabled The Curves still use the New UVmap, I hope this helped someone 🙂

[@dodeqaa]

Found it out the long way but man these hair geonodes should come with a big UV LAYOUT REQUIREMENT sign.

[@thenerdygirlnextdoor314]

This video answered like 5 questions I had while trying out the quick effects and to which I couldn't find answers online, so I had given up. Way to go on making a quick but very thorough tutorial!

[@yeroslav11]

More hair videos!!!! Iovveee how easy you make it thank you so much ❤

[@wenz1642]

Does anyone know how to get the length vertex group? Did i miss anything? I think it is just there in the tutorial...

[@Bill-lt5qf]

my project has failed. my model has an animated armiture, using quick fur puts hair particles all over the place (most not connected to the model, but connected to where the model will be in later frames.) disabling the surface deform looks to fix it, but at the same time it sais "invalid surface uvs on 3 curves", which goes right over my head. you also say to put the "armiture above the surface deform", but the armiture modifier & the surface deform modifier are in different lists to each other, so how? & even if i solved all that, how do i bake the bloody fur when it's not a particle system...

[@nickbarry659]

Thanks for making this. What's the key command to get that menu up to search for quick fur? I can only find adding fur as a curve which doesn't give me all the different examples.

[@killrat3D]

F3

[@Some_one11237]

why my quick fur have the modify in the curve and not on the mesh, if i put trim hair it's gonna be on the mesh modifier....

[@lorenzoplaatjies8971]

what did you press to bring up the quick fur thing damn!

[@drukcg]

Does it have the option to add this quick effect over Modifier stacks? My model already had a subdiv to begin with and it had UVs, Weight painted on Density and everything but the results look wonky... Not usable for some reason, hopefully i can figure out something or find another video on the particular stuff

[@dzysmile]

How do you make geometric node hairs follow the surface like particle hairs? When I adjusted the character model again after I finished the hair, the hair position was wrong, the hair did not follow the surface of the object

[@Argyle302]

How in the heck did you do that search at 0:15?

[@knaxel]

[@GlitchingMind]

@@knaxel fr what is that

[@DANIELROJAS94]

Great video, by the way. How can I implement hair dynamics so that it behaves according to gravity, wind, turbulence, etc.?

[@sarajakas2001]

i have a question, can i/how export hairs like as a shader, i understand export model eg. gltf, but hairs like a eg. opengl shader, to export to the external render engine?

[@spittingame4241]

I made A LOT (300+) of hair styles....with the OLD particle hair system. How do I make it move when my character(s) move, weight paint the hair (hair stays stiff while other strands blow in the wind), add collision to the hair and character i.e hair Dynamics. Or Is there anyway I can convert them to the NEW geometry hair node system and my it DYNAMIC that way.

[@sennabullet]

Amazing tutorial! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

[@MSephirroth]

how did you bring up the window, that allowed you to "just" click quick fur?

[@Spinofan]

Try pressing F3 or fn+F3

[@jbdh6510]

So the hair system is only good for still renders and for animated characters i still have to use the particle hair?

[@fellipeoliveira3d]

How can I use this new hair system in an animation production? How do I do a physical simulation with this new system?

[@drollicdreamer]

Very nice! Is this character available in any of your resource packs on gumroad/blender market?

[@kylewoodson]

Hey, I am very new to blender and hope someone could possibly answer a question I have, in the video on the left side of the screen when you activate the different styles of hair you can have right? Well, my question is how can I see that/access that? I am having trouble figuring out how and looking it up hasn't done me well either

[@cliffhansen7789]

Have they ever added hair dynamics to geonodes hair? I've been waiting on learning since there's no point in having hair if it's stiff an unrealistic, but there doesn't seem to be a plan.

[@wrillywonka1320]

i have no idea how you got quick fur. im in 4.0 is it different in there or? i think you may have had a hot key but didnt tell us what it was?

[@CritelliArt]

Mine doesn't look anything like this. This tutorial is great, but I've found the hair system unpredictable and completely unintuitive. It's crazy. It must just be me. I don't know how to make it do what I want after many tutorials.

[@charlesdhanielgarcia6961]

Why is it that when I add interpolate hair curves, blender runs very slow? Any solution for that?

[@xNIMZx1]

This is fantastic glad people are making more tutorials for this I've been struggling since it came out. Id really love a more complex character or animal video with a full process. I've been struggling with a werewolf I've made cant get the hair to look quite right. Like do you just use one curve for the whole model with a bunch of vertex groups or do you use multiple curves etc. How much should you be using the groom tools vs just the nodes etc.

[@nathanlaidler9606]

@xNIMZx1 Great point. Same reason I haven’t started using this system.

[@yeroslav11]

[@McWard]

Can you simulate the hair/fur when using this technique?

[@GlaciaGalaxy]

Could this work on a model that uses 3 different textures? I have models that where originally made for a game, but kind of turned them into using them for animation and renders, but they are split up into 3 parts, head body tail.

[@CGIMati]

How to transfer the hair system from one to another identical model (not particle - new Hair system)? I have a character model that I animate in an external program. When I put it in the blender again, i want use my prewius hair system.

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

1:26 You can’t add an armature to a Hair Curves object.

[@Ponlets]

my characters fur is inside the skin but the normals are the proper direction

[@ClaraBeack]

okay but.. how do you put the geometry nodes in a CURVE???

[@vitaliikostiuk683]

how can i animate, simulate hair?

[@wilhelmeniabilliedoherty5917]

Super helpful, thank you! And well timed, I was just working on my first creature with fur lol! One question though, is there any way to easily get hair to sorta hang straight down? For a shaggy yak fur kinda look, or do I have to comb and shape it all by hand?

[@roberthintz4017]

This should answer your question. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epmxnn6tYtSAbac

Is possible change need change the curve radius profile whit a weight pain or texture map?. Please i need heeelp! T.T

[@reijin3733]

I have a problem, when i apply quick fur, hairs grow inside my mesh. My face orientation is good, i applied all transforms, my normals are calculated in the good way.. i don't understand why it grow inside

[@firilexu]

add quick fur after applying position scale rotation to the mesh.

[@Belfrahn]

I... cant see my vertex map in the pull down for Density. Anyone help?

[@xNIMZx1]

don't know if its intentional or a bug but try typing in the name of your vertex group and hitting enter it should add it and show up in the list from now on.

[@Belfrahn]

@@xNIMZx1 Thanks. It seeems to be a bug in 3.5. If you create the vertex group before applying the Quick Effect you get your maps on the dropdown. Otherwise it is as you said, you have to manually type the name of your map and press enter.

What key did you press in 0:12?

[@rafaelhdss]

F3

[@LeoxDLUZ]

This is good but I think it would be more suited for if you want a quick render to see how your character/asset looks with hair/fur. I personally prefer using the particle system even though it can slow down your pc I just personally prefer it. But this is good if you want a quick fix.

[@kayleej]

I agree. It's frustrating that this new system doesn't include the simulation of hair which is why I use particle hair in the first place.

[@thivolan3d]

You can actually take this and convert it into the old particle system with a simple button! Under curves, in sculpt mode, there is an option to convert it to the old system... Also you can take these hairs and customise them while in sculpt mode adding/ removing/ growing areas etc while still using vertex groups to separate/ control each piece; its actually quite robust! I didnt think it would replace the particle system but it just might be the answer we are looking for! Oh, you can also add even greater depths of control with the node system: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXS0f2isg8x7n6s

[@deepnineforty5646]

Right in the begining you just say "use quick fur" and it appears.... HOW DO YOU GET THE QUICK FUR OPTION.... Damn these blender tutorials are so damn hard to follow its crazy.

[@spindriftstudio2727]

With your object selected, in object mode, open the Object drop down menu (next to the View, Select, Add menus) and about 5 options up from the bottom you will see Quick Effects.

[@anonandaft365]

Will this port to Unreal?

[@MagicPlants]

[@missoli]

Didn’t know this was a thing 😫😫

[@saintelmo5590]

Blender's Hair system is nice if you want to make hair for rendering. But if you're wanting to make hair (re: Hair cards) for games or external animation apps, it sucks. You'd think the Blender guys would've been all over creating a system that allows you to EASILY create hair cards out of this. Nope. Gotta navigate a spider web of Geometry Nodes, and bust your brain trying to figure out which nodes do what. It's the whole "Good Bye and Good Luck" attitude that is very off-putting about this system.
