It's absolutley hysterical you guys uploaded this and are acting as though it works

For those who don't know how to add that, here is a tip just select hair and create clothing data from selection

[MADMOVIESINC]

I have a model that has a separate piece of hair on the back than the bangs. It looks like the model was created with only the bangs getting the physics. I'm trying to add the back of head hair to the clothing data so that I can give it some bounce. When I try to apply the current clothing data, I can't paint onto it in cloth paint mode. I then tried selecting "Create clothing data from section". This doesn't add anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, thank you for the useful information
I have a question
I sent the character to live link and set up the physics settings you mentioned in Unreal Engine, but after that, if I get the motion and proceed with live link, there is no physics set

[danielsharma]

I lose about 25fps on a blank project with this setup. Is this normal? And is there a better, cheaper way to do it?

[realizewave]

does any game actually use UE5 strand based hair physics instead of "card" based system?

[henryqprodllc]

So no weight maps need to be added in CC4 or iClone first for this to work?

[WrathOfAl]

Hello - thanks for the tutorial. MY experience so far with importing CC4 characters to UE5 is that the hair does not look as good as it doesnt in the CC4 editor. It almost looks translucent and not full bodied like it is in CC4. Any suggestions on this part ?

[Thomass]

I would love to know what hair shader is being used here in Unreal Engine 5! This looks really clean and nice!

[RECREATIONAMVs]

The auto setup hair when rendered with MovieRenderQueue, the physics looks jittery but in viewport the simulation looks fine. Any idea to fix it?

[gu]

so far live link did not get the hair fully right ..sighs.

[MrProjecthalo]

Didn't know about those masks! Will check it out.
Wish these programs (daz/iclone/ue/unity/ect) handled hair better. It's always too plastic feeling or springy. I know the technology is about there tho.

What is the problem with Unreal 5? Every time I imported it with Auto Setup (1.24 Latest), there is a crazy Fan blade or extreme wind simulation in loose part of the hair. How could I minimize the effects or even turn off it completely?

[lovelettar]

Wait.. so this hair is not driven by bones?

[olekstarasov]

After export there is no physics asset (instead of this bottom other that leads to blueprint CCLiveLink_v23 )
What is my mistake? :D

[williamminnaar]

Hello there - A question please - I used to import my characters with hair and cloth and it worked fine - But for some reason the physics is not importing to UE5.1?? The hair is not importing with physics at all - Any idea why please? :)

[MADDMANNPRODUCTIONZ]
