Blender Stylized Hair Grooming Tutorial | 3.6 and +

Here's a tutorial on how to make a half-tied stylized hairstyle with Blender's new hair system ! It's not for absolute beginners, but it does not require any experience with geo-nodes or the new hair system.

Was the tutorial easy or difficult to follow ? Constructive feedback is welcome ! :)

Bro I don’t have any idea how hard I tried to find a good tutorial like this, thank u 🩷

THE BEST STYLIZED HAIR TUTORIAL CURRENTLY ON YT! THANKS A LOT!
MY CHAR GONE FROM BALD TO DANDY

I've watched 3 tutorials for this new system and yours is the first to suggest working with the modifiers on. It's such a good suggestion and makes it easier to see what's actually happening rather than guessing an applying at the end.

[applebottoms]

That was fast! I thought it would take you weeks to make it :) Thanks for the great tutorial!

[elideeart]

Thank you so much for this! I've been hunting around for weeks for a tutorial that I could apply to a character with really curly hair, and this was the first one that's gotten me even close to the result I was looking for

[Jomok]

I have been struggling with hair for forever now and for whatever reason, this video seemed to make a lot of things click. I will try to follow along with it when I get back to my characters hair lmao

Best video on youtube about blander hair system.

[GodfTime]

making realistic hair and this is helping why didn't i think of adding two of the same node for better effects duhhh lol

[MG_D]

Great tutorial. Can you explain your layered approach a little bit?

[poppi]

I mean you can kind of do the clump curves by going into the geo nodes set up of the clump hair curves, looking for the nodegroup that uses the "shape" input and then adding a color ramp inbetween the spline parameter and the nodegroup. you can then use that to determine the shape. Allows you to essentially tweak a gradient on that curve. Start with white (smaller radius) then black (thicker) and end with white again. That way you can also ditch the first clump geo nodes modifier. To me the b-spline mode has worked best on the color ramp.

If anyone knows how to use a vector curve node instead of a color ramp, like it is the in the particles tab, please write the solution here.

Edit: Using interpolate hair curves instead of duplicate allows you to get 99% close to the hair shape of the arcane tutorial. Using duplicates makes it centered but interpolation gives that outward going shape. change "distance to guides" for bigger radius

This is a fire tutorial. I have a question though, when using the arcane style hair mat, you deleted the noise node. I couldn't get it to work right from other tut, the noise paint horizontal lines on hair. any work arounds for that? so it paints straight lines of noise?

Do you use weight paint at all during this process? I am currently using it but wondering if it's unnecessary to. Thanks for the tutorial!

[ALEX_TK]

thanks for the great guide !how did you set up the connection texture coordinate noise texture color ramp ? in the video tutorial you linked to at the beginning of the video.

Yo, I can't find the surface deform modifier you're applying to the bun at 7:44. Is it renamed in Blender 4.0.2, or did you get this particular modifier from a the net?

[hakka]

so the material you use is the one in the lightening boy tutorial?

[MrPaulowillians]

You did a real class, I would just like to know if it is also suitable for Cycles? Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

im in blender 4.0, i add a empty hair and nothing shows up in sculpt mode
