Exporting Strandbase obj in scene files -- SolVed :-)

Catherine3678ab

Hi Richard Haseltine,

You mentioned in a thread somewhere that we could export as/in scene files the Strandbased hair as objects. We all loved that idea but as I try to, this isn't working.

Please elaborate on how to. Thank you.

Or if anybody else has figured it out ...

History, the Strandbased hair is based on the Garibaldi hair system. The old Garibaldi plugins permitted the export of .obj files. This feature is missing from the Strandbased hairs.

it has to be exported from D|S itself 

line tesselation 2 or 3 (strip or tube) PBR view on

I'll give that a try, thanks.

I export as OBJ without touching the tesselation (I think) so that I can import the hair splines into C4D. The female's hair in this video is built off of a modified version of dForce Fierce Tales hair.

@Wendy is that the standard File/Export?

well TBH I haven't tried the new export only selected option yet as was until recently mostly using D|S4.11

I check the don't export hidden/only visible option and only have the hair visible but they are very highpoly

On the Parameters Tab,
Preview PR Hairs > On
Render Line Tessellation Sides > 3  [all ready at this setting]
Hide node figure
Select and export hair
AND IT WORKS

Thank you very much :-)
