If you want to make any parts longer you can uncheck the "Retain Curve Lengths" option and use the comb to "pull out" longer strands. If you accidentally hit Accept and don't like the changes, just reload the previous save of the scene. If you find you've really messed up you can just hit "Cancel". This is you pretty much sculpting the hair, it may take a while to get it to where you want it. Tweaking and refining the general shape can take a while, so be patient. If you find you've pushed the hair into the scalp, you can use the Comb to fluff it up and out of the skull or you can use the "Curl Curves tool" (looks a bit like a fish hook) at a negative value to pull the hair out of the scalp. Refine the shape until you have a general shape that you like. After you've saved go back into to the Strand-Based Hair Editor (make sure the "Strand-Based Hair 1" is selected in the scene tab then go to Edit > Edit Strand-Based Hair). So I'll usually end up with "WIP 1", "WIP 2", "WIP 3". I like to save often and at various stages so if I REALLY get funky with it or mess it up badly, I can just reload a previous save. You can call it "Strand Hair Wolverine WIP 1" or whatever helps you remember. Once you have a general shape down I recommend hitting Accept and then saving the scene. For more subtle changes you might use a lower Strength with a higher Fall Off, but use the settings you, personally, find easiest to use.Ĩ. This is where I start to zoom in a bit more, using a smaller brush, and tweaking the Strength, Radius, and Fall Off as needed. Once you have the general shape you want, use the "Scale Curves tool" (the one with two arrows coming out of it) to extend the hair length to the general length that you prefer.ħ. (You can zoom in and use a smaller brush Radius when you're ready to make more minor adjustments.) But for now, keep a focus on the general shape that you want.Ħ. I like to zoom out a bit so that I can get better control over the entire hair and start to "rough out" the general shape that I want. Start shaping the hair how you want it - adjust the Strength, Radius, and Fall Off to suit your taste. I also recommend setting the Auto Parting around 90. I usually like to start out with the settings of Strength 100%, Radius around 100, and Fall Off at 0%. Adjust the Strength, Radius, and Fall Off to suit your taste. The "Comb Curves tool" should be selected (it looks like a little comb) if it's not selected, select it. I like to see all the hairs that I'm working with, and luckily my machine can handle it, so I usually have it at 100%.ĥ. Depending on your machine though (and personal preference) you might keep it at 20% or slide it to 50%. Go to the Style Tab and scroll to the bottom and select "Show Hairs" and (this is optional) turn the "Amount" to 100%. Same with the Density, which you can tweak later if you want thicker or thinner hair growth.Ĥ. 08), but you can always adjust it later if you want thicker or thinner hair strands. Set the Width (I usually set the Base at. Set the "Density" (I usually set it to 50-60 for longer hair but since this is short hair I went with 100). If you see any strands growing out of any funky or weird areas go back to the Paint Tab and paint them out with the "Value" at 0.0%.ģ. (Edit: Thank you to L'Adair for pointing out that you can "erase" by holding down "Alt" - no need to slide the Value to 0. Slide the "Value" to 0.0% for areas you want to "erase" - slide it back to 100% to paint in white the areas you want the hair to grow out from. The Strand-Based Hair Editor should pop up - select Torso and Face.Ģ. Select the figure in the scene tab and then go to Create > New Strand-Based Hair.ġ. Load the figure you want the hair added to (in this walk-through I'll use Genesis 8 Male). So feel free to share what you all have learned and any tips/tricks that you've discovered that might make things easier. So, of course, feel free to point out easier/better ways if you've found some - Strand-Based Hair is still quite new and we're all learning as we go. Disclaimer: This is just how I personally do it, there are probably easier or better ways. I thought I'd put together a mini-tutorial on Strand-Based Hair, for those who might want to see a quick walkthrough of the basic steps.
