My annual xgen struggles 😭 this time with interactive groom. Relatively simple haircut, still so hard to get it right 😤 Not giving up this time

hahaha I’ve been doing almost the same hair but in houdini. I have tried a couple different methods, including simulations to try and get the most natural proper looking cut. I don’t think our results are very far apart 👏

are you also doing it for dynamic sim? that's my goal with this project

Dude its looking great! Interactive always looked painful to me. I'm a huge fan of Xgen Core. Freaking autodesk man, why did they stop developing it.

I would rather do this in Xgen core, much more control, but AI told me I should stick with Interactive groom as it easier to convert for dynamics :D gotta give it a shot.

Amazing , how did you get that shader look on viewport ?

this is default maya hair shader, just with few extra lights in the scene for shadows and fresnel effects

man i feel like my pc would explode trying this 😅xgen seems so complicated

performance is actually ok for grooming with default density settings, can't complain! 3090

You are doing it in the most difficult way possible🫠, use the guides, they are your best friends.😉

guess I'll have to...very little control in these groom tools compared to curves
