Blender hair full walkthrough - 01 - Mesh preparation and guide curves

in this series of videos, we gonna go through a from start to finish walkthrough of setting up a female hairstyle in Blender 3.6+. There a are many ways to achieve this in the new hair system, so this videos will just show one of those ways.
Part 01 is all about preparing your mesh and setting up initial guide curves. Sorry for the long video, I just can't keep myself brief and direct.

Here a link to the modified hair node groups:

Hello smay, first of all, thank you for the detailed description of how to create realistic hair, this will help me get a lot further with my project.
Unfortunately, there is also something in this video that has made me impatient with other videos on this difficult topic: these are these undescribed and incomprehensible jumps to new views in Blender. This software is very complex, and from my point of view it is simply necessary to describe how you can e.g. at 9:13 of the video you suddenly opened the node editor, and especially which one it is... I'm not a Blender specialist (yet), and once again I'm faced with the puzzle of how to achieve this view.
I think that things like the basic configuration of a video documentation already belong in the video description so that you have the option, for example. to retrace your steps…a normal user such as I usually spend minutes, sometimes hours, trying to find the view that fits your description, sorry.

really interesting and very helpful, thank you for posting these, there's so little info on Blender's hair system, this is gold

This was really good, and it's good to see it live.

As I've noticed I'm being way to sparse with my guide curves and have little to low point count. I it's good to see how much you add, then hoping the interpolation system guessing.

It's a good trick to use the interpolation as a preview.

Excited for part 2

Would be nice to share the base mesh, so folks can follow along. I see people asking about it. One could always use their own model. But having the same model as you would be really nice

Where do you get perfect practice head models? Someone tell me please 😭

[lucyblack]

Very nice tutorial series! Would be cool if you combine all the 4 parts in one playlist (more comfortable to save it), other than that - subscribed!

[kabumfilmexperience]

The best grooming tutorial on YT. I have a question, is there a way to subdivide/unsubdivide the guide curves that already exist?

[NEVERTRUMP-pz]
