This is nothing fantastic ... I buy hair ;-)

Very basic "how to" at least make a start of sorts for those who may be interested.


Part two! Covers lots of stuff :-)

Making Scalps!

Part 4 - Making a Mustache

Part 5 - Hat with Hair

Not a tutorial, just a pom tail using the Garibaldi Hair system. For G2F. Pom tail must be selected to apply the preset ;-)

.............

13 Jan all of these were re-uploaded to my DA Gallery.
Tutorial Folder

And the pom tail.

    Thank You, that will be useful. I have read your tutorials and they are good, though i haven't yet made anything. But i hope i will be able to do some hair too after reading this.

    That sounds very good! I'll forward it to a friend of mine interested in Hexagon. Thank you :).

    Not to get hopes too high on "part one" as it's a very basic start. Getting really nice hairdos done is a fine art to itself IMO. Lots to learn ;-)

    For 'part two' I'm planning to continue on using the base created in part one, but making a new centre for it - hopefully to create a cute type hair for children.

    Thank you very much. I have been wondering how hair is made. Most good hair models have larger files than many characters. So I was sure it was a complicated process. If nothing else, it will increase my appreciation of those who can do this.

    Nabbed just for the reason I love all HEX tuts if nothing else. Prob will never build a hair but you never know.

    :-) Part Two covers re-making the centre area ... re-making the uvmap for a different layout ... and for anybody wanting hair textures Ghastly has a delightful set of resources for making your own.

    Still a WIP, have the renaming of Shading Domains and some D/S files to make so can cover some morphing, etc.

    Well, hopefully my tutorials will be left up for at least a couple of months.
    The "dta" [download them all, on right-click menu] FF plugin usually gets the downloads for me on DA.

    Wow! Hair is on sale, nonono ... have too much already lol ... but but ... oh one more wouldn't hurt ...

    You will come to appreciate those $2 hair sales "very much" as you learn to model hair ... even $4 ... man that's a good deal too!

    okay ... update ... the work for part two is done ... have over 100 images to edit through ... covers remaking the centre part, remaking uvmaps, a little bit about texturing, morphing, making new models from the "starter", and some of the Shading Domain/material quirks one will come across when using Hexagon.

    It will take awhile to edit those images.

    Done! Now ... well I suppose I should proof read it, a little bit anyway.
    Hope I didn't miss any important steps ... came across a few glitches and decided to leave of them in the tut as this is what people will come across ... so not to be surprized and/or put off by the experience but rather to learn and continue on. I would highly recommend reading through it before following it. No need for everybody to make the same glitches happen ;-)
    Also covers information about the Shading Domains and materials. Making a morph. Oh yes, making a high res option too :-)
    After this tutorial hopefully people have enough information to make their own "bowl cut" hairs, beanie hats, liberty crowns, or whatever.


    Haven't decided yet what a part three might cover, but 'maybe' some longer hair with single strands or something like that.

    Great news, it's currently downloading :P. You could consider making a tutorial on braids, pigtails and curls - in some distant future, of course. You contributed so dearly you need to rest :). Thanks!

    Sure. I know that there's a video tutorial 'somewhere' about making a braid ... and there is/was a long one for free use over at sharecg.com.
    That being said, I couldn't make a braid following that video so will be trying again using another method.

    Ouch! Wow!

    This is caught in a few different sales I think so grab it fast if you want it.
    Came to $1.99 for me [yes I have Gia] ... otherwise it's about $3.99 --- great buy.

    It might not be that soon, but after the summer i will give it a try. First i need to learn to make morphs, i am already late with that, but good thing is that i learned depth of field and how to make motion blur in render though i have not tested it yet :)

    hmm ... how about part Pre-Three ;-)

    The "bowl hair" type models do not require a scalp piece but normally the fancier hairs do make use of one.

    Images have been edited for Part Three. Just have to paste them together and proof read it a little.

    Ok :) Part 2.5 then. I am waiting for part 3.
