Hair in ZB4

[dargelos]

cool idea! zbrush Hair primitives like mray Hair primitives!

Thanks Yiannis. Your betatester thread for render passes in ZB4 and mr nose are really wonderfull and a great help. Looking forward to see more or your amazing renders.If you have the time... Could you post any render of your work with hair in ZB4 here on in your thread?

Not really. just because i want to add many hairs and adding one by one as subtools would be tedious.. but I´m sure there are better and faster ways.. I m just lazy and always choose the easiest way.

No, you are right is not a lazy issue! is a veryeasy and fast way (probably in the moment i ask about meshInsert brush was thinking as a pain but not!!).
I reviewed the MeshInsert Grotesque Tutorial and you are right!

thanks dargelos, for your kind words. When I do my next character I'll try incorporate this idea. If I'm happy with the result and use it, I'll mention your technique, and inform you and may post it also hear.
Extra Dimensional's use has also a lot of potential, for foliage and maybe other uses.

thanks

cool, stuff I suppose also it would be a great way to place polyplanes for hair if you are doing lower res games work.

[dargelos]

yiannis --thanks, thanks, thanks !!
and Michael --- yes I think it can be used for that or to render in other apps.. i guess its the same as if you used planes.. but when I tried a texture with black transparent to render in zbrush the render was slower ..

Hello Dargelos!

Thank you for sharing this awesome technique with us! It will definitly come in handy!!

I am curious though.. I have downloaded your file and played around with that and I see how you rigged the clumps of hair and everything, but I am confused and a little lost on the first stage...

*How did you get a Triangle pyramid from a cylinder and how were you able to split it into segments?

I've been trying everything and can't seem to get it right.. Are you using the deformations palette or am I looking in the wrong place?

Again, thanks for your input and time saving technique on creating hair!!

I know, i ask a lot, but may be you could do a short video on the process how you create the hair? I am trying for quite a while, but with very limited sucess so far.
Besides, very cool idea and extemeley cool hair stuff, thanks Dargelos!
Cheers

hello limit and heiner. The starting step is very easy. Just pick the cylinder3D from the tools and go to initialize. Hdivide to 3 . Ldivide depending of the hair you want to do. 5 or 6 for eyebrows is enough but for long hair you need more..
