Easiest Way To Create Hair in Blender - 5 Minute Tutorial 

Fr fr

@@lIlIIIIllIllIIIlIlII aww thanks!! I finished the donut and I'm trying to make a simple character with dikko's tutorial

@@lIlIIIIllIllIIIlIlII THANKS! I'll be sure to check it out

@@hema4realz ecks dee

Did ya ever make that donut?

I found that but when I apply it to the circle curve my path curve disappears.

Thanks

@@jetrandom7569 same problem

@@anficyon what I ended up doing was opening a new project and repeating the steps for the hair mesh and for some reason it worked. so then on my old project I added the new project and I just kept copying and pasting the hair mesh so that I would have an extra on the side as I was doing the hair. I have no idea what the problem was, this was just my way of getting around it.

Thank you! I was getting frustrated lol

im using Blender 3

we can assign shortcut as Alt+c and use it

hi

How can you make these sculpts ready for game engines?

Could you please do a vid on how you'd tackle African hair?

Thanks :)

bro, you help me. Thanks a lot

Thanks, my good man!

Thanks, saved me a lot of research

i actually only see 3 points so uh

Noice, thanks xD

Umm, how do you like, mirror your sculpt. I constantly see you sculpting two individual hair strands at once and I kinda wanna try that. Pls tell me how you mirror the selected objects... Ty😊

@@spectrumanimation8180 you could use a mirror modifier? 😅

@@spectrumanimation8180 you can mirror stuff over different planes by going up near the top and clicking on x y or z when sculpting

When I try to scale the single point to shape the hair, it doesn’t work, can someone help

Oh wow thank you, this is what I was having trouble with

holy jesus you are a saint!!! tysm!

Ah yes I am forever thankful for ppl like you

You are an angel

I think I love you…

yeah i've been wondering if he used the same technique to make it

That's because he made it in blender

@@NilesBlackX I bet he made himself entirely from blender :0

There should definitely be a tutorials Oscar award. All we need to do is come up with a good name.

Should also check out Royal Skies LLC.

The TutScars

Tutorials? HAHAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂 HE DON'T UPLOAD TUTORIALS, HE UPLOAD TIMELAPSES 😂😂😂

@@angeld7849 Seriously? Don't tell me

Exactly, and he showed us EVERYTHING we need to make awesome hair meshes in about 6 minutes. No time wasting, no over-complicated steps. Videos like this are so rare but invaluable.

hi

Thanks working on a character and will need this

I learned this technique of yours before, glad to see an upgraded version! Thanks!

how do you modify this method to create Daenerys Targaryen's dothraki braids?

@@kellyjohnson768 I think it's better to make braids using simple mesh of one segment - twist modifier - applied array modifier with merging vertices - then just modify braids with sculpt tools, proportional editing, textures, hair particles, cool mats etc to make them look as realistic as you want

thanks!!!

thank you!

Thank you

Thank you mate

alt + s is for vertices

Alt+S is not working on any vertices of the path, any ideas of what's wrong?

​@@kanetinha Blender has changed the ui since this vid, you probably used the "color picker of object" of the Taper Object. You need to expand the Bevel section and right underneath select "Object", and use the "color picker" from the Bevel to select the circle.

Keep in mind you can always change the hot keys in the UI

Your comment is very helpful to those who are new to making models for printing! Well done with the explanation. To comment on your mirroring problem, this has to do with normals. Face orientation and solid geometry is very important in slicer software. If you have non-manifold geometry or flipped faces, it will most definitely give you the errors you explained. The mirroring issue is not a bug, but rather, it is a byproduct of how Blender mirrors things. If you look at the scale of an object that has been mirrored (with the exception of those that use a mirror modifier) you will see that its scale is inverted for the axis in which it was flipped. This by nature will also flip the normals when transformations are applied to an object (which is what happens upon exporting files such as fbx, obj, or stl). Your solution effectively flips the normals of the source curve to 'red' in Blender, so that it exports as 'blue' for any slicers. This solution usually doesn't pose any problems externally, but some other operations might be broken in blender if your normals are positioned incorrectly.

@@shibu5175 indeed! Though I should have edited my original comment up until now for how much I have learned since then!

Hero!

I'm new to this, and I've got that first "fill caps" part, but I don't completely understand the second part

Also I'll probably be printing for the first time so what should I look out for to get it ready to print?

except you're still using curves...

@@shadowsketch926 i think you know what i meant xD

@@fl0killa i honestly wasn't sure, hence the comment xD

Yeh what was that. He farted

Thank you! I was looking for this.

Bro I love you ❤

i have the same question as you I hope someone will answer

Easiest way to do that is to select all of the hair mesh objects and < CTRL >< J > [join them] together in one mesh. If you need to edit them in the joined mesh all you need to do is to hover over one strand of hair and press < L > for loose parts.

thanks

Im 8months late ik.. but I think you don't need to close the ends because if you scale it down a lot it'll be like it's closed.

i'm having this issue, too

Just figured it out; it's a simple thing to overlook, but you need to switch it over to Object instead of Round, in the Bevel tab, when you have the Path selected!

Think u'r gonna need a lot more vacation bud.

Novica Vukobratovic progress is progress, better than nothing

Trust me, Ive been using blender for 5 years now, and you're gonna need more than 1 week vacation to learn it but do not let this discourage you! Go and learn my friend! You'll get there!

You can even copy paste it :)

@@yansculpts yeah, but I meant when first creating a hair strand in a file, but of course you could prepare a .blend with multiple basic hair shapes and just import that .blend (I was just thinking way too complicated haha)

Could try out Yusuf Umar's Bevel Curve tool. github.com/ucupumar/bevel-curve-tools Creates curves at the cursor with the bevel shape. Plus you can also edit the bevel shape later on as well. It only has a few bevel shapes when overriding the bevel.. But I recommend trying it out. It says that it works in "2.79 and 2.80" but it ported into 2.83alpha just fine. Only downside is that the documentation video is in v2.74. Note: 2.8's version has the panel on the sidebar instead of the toolbar; To the right of the 3dviewport instead of the left.

@@Ironpants57 ohhhh, that looks handy! thanks for the link!

you will have to try getting familiar with curves in order to get them to get the shapes you want. try checking tutorials on curves/beziers

I guess you'd have to convert to mesh and then make it a softbody.

👍

I think you can add armature on the head and build the hair around it.

You convert the curve to mesh and then rig the mesh as usual.

@@WannabeCanadianDev yooooooooo bro you saved my life xD thanks men

You can create a duplicate, tone down the resolution to what you desire, then bake normals from the original.

For games you might wish to use hair cards, basically just planes with a hair texture applied to it. They're about as poly count efficient as you can get. You could just draw some hair strands in your art program of choice and use that as a texture, or if you want to get fancy you can check out a tutorial by Nazar Noschenko on creating eyebrows where he first creates some hair strands using a method like in this video but then bakes them into a texture, which should let you bake things like normal maps and such for your hair cards to make them even better. If you have some more allowance, you can try to play around with the decimate modifier to reduce poly count after creating hair like this and converting it to a mesh. Then there's of course the option of manually retopologizing the hair, though that can get rather time consuming.

check out the tutorial from Jack Perry: www.artstation.com/artwork/rRkOVL He uses the Hair Tool addon which can save a lot of time. Another resource is this talk from Daniel Bystedt: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ym26cEA4ubU.html

@@Colopty What I think you're referring to only really works for realistic hair. For stylized hair you can't replicate the volume of the hair with just textures

Thanks for editing in the solution! I was having the same problem and your comment helped me out.

Thanks a ton

THANK YOU !!!

i mean there was never any mention of realistic hair and from the character shown surely you can come to the conclusion it might not work for realistic hair.

same happened to me. Not sure what went wrong

For anyone just having this problem now, I fixed mine by not applying the Rotation of the circle. If you followed how he rotated the curves after creating them, be careful to apply only the Scale and not All Transforms as that was what was messing it up for me.

@@johncarlocagas 👆👆 this! 🙏 Thank you!

I personally think it's good to have just one but to strech it out a bit so it's not just a point on top of the head but like a short line going from the back towards the face a bit. I like the question and I would like to here if there are more ways to do it that I was just to ignorant to find out about

I am stuck here as well, tried a bunch of things but still not working

Happened to me too! Can YanSculpts help here, please!

he selects all the points on each side rather than using something like a mirror modifier, then locks them to an axis using the Z key. you can do this on any axis as well, with most of the tools. grab on the x axis? use G then X. scale only on the Y axis? S then Y.

once converted to a mesh, rigged, weight painted, it works just as well and hand modeling!

Ive got the same exact issue lol, was looking down here for an answer

@@joefy200 This is a bit late, but in case anyone else still needs an answer: Edit mode > Viewport Overlay > Curve Edit Mode > Normals

@@GaminGilmore Under the curve edit mode, change "Handles" to "all".

yeah i keep getting this pointy cone thing too 😩

Select the circle and press tab. You may need to rotate the circle to get it work like his.

im starting now and struggling with the same problem! have you solved your issue? (last version 4.0)

I’m struggling too, I don’t know what to do-
