iClone 7.9 & CC 3.4 Tutorial - Intro to Smart Hair Structure

iClone 7.9 and Character Creator 3.4 introduce "Smart Hair" which is designed to provide the most realistic Hair, Brows, and Beard solution for digital humans used in games and films. The card based hair meshes are small in size, economical in texture resolution, and efficient for real-time rendering. The highly flexible ombre color gradient and specular variation are empowered by Smart Hair Shader. The new optimized hair shader allows for hair detail like never before without the need to sacrifice performance.

This introductory video will introduce you to the basics of the new hair system and where you can find the embedded content. You'll also learn about the basic hair shader parameters that allow for much more realistic hair visuals.

Still need a hair combing and cutting/lengthening tool!

[exposuregames]

So, great. We got 2 hairstyles and a bunch of beards. However, 1 female hair cut isn't going to do it.
WHERE DO WE GET MORE HAIR PIECES?!?!?!
All I see are the old hairstyles on your site... Who's in charge of your site? It's SOOO bad.

Just what I needed but how to make this work ? I updated character creator and smart gallery but I can only apply the basic coutry style or chic hun medium, can't apply solo elements to the character. Also I cannot see those new hairstyles in the smart glalery only old ones.

Hey guys... In terms of the long hair styles, will there be a way to create simulations for these? I guess since they are geo... Cloth simulations could work? Any plans on implementing something for in this respect? Thanks!

Wow. What a awesome update. Reallusion really rocks. But you let us wait for a week. That is brutal :) Just kidding.

How do you optimize these hair elements on a character's head so it won't impact and slow down iClone too much? Mine is hitting less than 6 FPS when playing in realtime using only 2 characters in a very basic one room scene.

[revotiva]

Are smart hair and bear engine the same or I have to purchase separately

[asokfair]

Still you cannot shorten the sideburns with this tool!

[yoitsmefr]

But no hair presets for African / Afro American hair styles?

[shadow__dancer]

wait, so there is only one hair for this tool? It's very misleading. I have to create all my hairstyles from scratch anyway. This just provides a few beards, goaties and eyebrows, but only one hair for the top of the head.

[smfknj]

[xmotion-ir]
