In this episode - I show how to turn regular hair into "sculpt hair" for your mesh in Zbrush - using Ornatrix for Maya.

Personally, I feel more comfortable making them in Ornatrix than in Zbrush - using curves. Because the functionality of Ornatrix allows you to get a lot of things much faster and more convenient.

In this episode, I show how to export from Maya to Ornatrix Alembic, which can be used in Ornatrix 3ds Max or Cinema4d.

After that you can edit the hair, delete it with the Delete brush or add new ones with the Create brush. You can also apply different modifiers and do different manipulations, just like with normal hair.

Yes, you won't have guides anymore, but if you need them, you can add them with Adopt External Guides.

How to do it - told in this video

CONTENTS:

0:00 - Selecting the topmost modifier stack to select an Ornatrix object and prepare it for export.

0:03 - Exporting to Ornatrix

0:17 - For Cinema4D, Maya - Y axis. For 3ds Max - Z. 

0:33 - Checking what we got in Cinema4D

1:34 - Import in 3ds Max

In this episode, I continue to demonstrate workflow without Branching in Ornatrix Maya.

In Maya, this tool has not yet been finalized, so you have to create separate Ornatrix objects - without linking to each other and without using Branching. 

In this video I show that you cannot instantly assign a group to a separate guide and use a different proxy-mesh for it. If you just want to assign a proxy to one guide with a different group - you need to clone the whole stack with Duplicate Special and then assign the proxy to that guide.

--- 

CONTENTS:

0:10 - Showing that I want to select one guide and assign it a specific proxy with haircard.

0:16 - To do this, I clone the object with Duplicate Special

0:31 - Deleting unnecessary guides

0:45 - Using MeshFromStrands - I apply another proxy for this guide.

In this episode, I demonstrate the workflow without Branching in Ornatrix Maya.

In Maya - this tool has not yet been finalized, so you have to create separate Ornatrix objects - without linking to each other and without using Branching. That is, if you need to comb all the parts at once, as you can do with Branching in 3ds Max, it will not work.

You have to select each object with separate proxies and comb it.

That is, as you can notice in this video, I have a separate Ornatrix object for each part, not as in 3ds Max - one Edit Guides for all proxies...

But that didn't stop me from creating this hairstyle =)

Yes, it is less convenient to edit, but you can work.

--- 

CONTENTS:

0:00 - Demonstrating layers in Maya. Each layer is a separate object without being linked to a single Edit Guides. That is, each object has one separately.

0:22 - You can select each layer individually and edit the hair.

1:04 - Then when you've edited one layer - align all the others in turn. Yes, not very convenient... but alas, until Maya - there is no Branching function.

In this episode I show the Oscillator modifier.

Oscillator is a procedural dynamics simulator designed to predict the hairs's follow thru motion and creating inertia movement without full featured hair simulation. This operator supports gravity impulses and Maya's external forces such as turbulence, wind, and vortex.
