New Hair System + Geometry Nodes = Unstoppable

The new Hair System in Blender 3.3 together with Geometry Nodes holds massive potential! in this video, I will show how we can create a simple hair grooming system with the power of these two systems.
I created also a full-on advanced working system which you can download on the link below. this tutorial is only a simple version because it would take too long then and would be too complex to explain.

Dude, a suggestion: I (and many other people) NEVER found a good tutorial or course that teaches how to make good feathers in Blender. I'm not referring to individual feathers, but using Blender's hair system to create a bird's feather, for example. It would be a great addition to your channel, especially with this new hair system. Congratulations on the work!

For smoother snapping to the body, instead of the selection, you can capture the position before and after the snap and use those to set up a lerp operation (Original-Snapped * Factor) and then use that as an offset in a new set position.

theres 1 thing the devs need to sort out once and for all and now would be an ideal time to do so. somewhere along the chain a follicle map needs to be generated that matches the hair count and placement poorly aligned or nonexistent follicle displacement is the easiest way to id cgi from real

Serrr you are a geometry nodes evangelist ! this is one channel which is a one stop shop to learn geometry nodes properly .

There will most likely be node groups supplied with Blender later to do those basic thing like clumping, duplicating and so on to make it a bit more user friendly.

This tutorial is gold!! Congratulations!!!

this is a good tutorial. There is hope for my cat model to someday have hair. My suggestion is to make a second video to this for how to make the hair colored with geometry nodes and maybe another addon that can make dynamic color adjustments.

5:04 You can instead use a Vector Math in-between the Randomize Value and the Capture Attribute to multiply the whole vector by a value while leaving the Randomize Value parameters the same. I hope this helps.

Nice, thanks! I'd get it off of gumroad if it recreated some of the kink options, like wave and curl.

[ronioclarenzo]

Excellent tutorial and great addon! I'm buying it today on gumroad! Thanks a lot!

[ksunnywazowski]

thank you! Love your english it sounds so good and I understood all.

[alexxkrehmen]

Hi, nice tutorial, thank you.

For the roots attachment to the surface, maybe you could use a more progressive transition by using the curve factor instead of the points indices.

dynamics. wind blowing hair . body moments moving hair etc.

[amrtahtawi]

beautiful effort my friend! I'm happy to support you! keep creating :)

[soitoi]

Can you make a video that clearly explains for a beginner how to put the hair system and your geometry nodes on a character?
I bought the nodes but I can't link them to a character.
I followed the tutorial, but I can't manage to use your ready-made knots.

[TheAptimn]

Thank you! Is there a way to add hair dynamics via a node? Also, is there a node that could help to smooth the sharp curve angles (evee curve settings do not help that much)?

[DesignsbyDonBrown]

If anybody has trouble with the hair showing up, make sure the root and tip diameter is set high enough, or it will only show up when highlighted

[Leukick]

Does this hair system allow for hair physics though?
Does it render much faster than the original way though?

[yonk.online]

Hello! Amazing tutorial and can't wait to play around with this setup! Just downloaded your Gumroad file and appended the Hair system to my own mesh but the hair does not show up in the renderer? I'm using Blender 3.3 and cycles, any help would be appreciated!

[BradleyMullennix]

This is a fantastic tutorial to find.
However I just found the stopper. (Or personal ignorance that is).
How would you export Geo Node result?
