Didn't know about CTRL+T to rotate, was very frustrated with the autorotation, very good to know.

And also one tips for you guys. I got it from Darcy Channel, VR character maker. After finished and convert hair into mesh. You can split the hair corner, by spliting the edge, it will make your hair detail and like an anime style. 5:41

Thats crazy how simply you explained that. My modelling 3 teacher spent 3 hours talking about different ways to make hair and It looked complicated and fell I
asleep, lol

Making a spamton model right now, and with the way I'm modelling him, this helped a lot. Thanks, dude.

[PierogiTV]

Hey, thanks! This is pretty simple to understand and allows for lots of control. I'm sure there are more automated ways of doing it, but I wanted a more customizable solution like this. Glad I found this video 🙂

[misterprickly]

This is a real eye opener.
thanks for uploading!

[MrJvelazquez]

This is easy and straight to the point, this is awsome! Thank you

[willizugz]

I love this video all the others ones Ive been looking at go way too complex when something as simple as this exists thank you!

[TimeToFloof]

been using the subdivision modifier for a good while and my god is the this so much easier! thank you!!!

[ika]

i couldn't get the subdivide option from any other tutorial about curves so big thanks!

[ezzie_baby]

This is awesome!!! So easy and quick, thank you so so much for sharing

[JayM]

Thanks for the video. This is the third or more vid I’ve watched and I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t taper it. Thanks for emphasizing the S vs Alt S bit… I was completely missing that!

[DraconicKobold]

Thank you. I recently tried doing the same thing with a hair particle system. Let me tell you, not oly is the style completly off it also looks terrible. Just by looking at this I can already tell this will work a lot better. Will update this comment when Ive tried.
Update: Absolutely awesome. Love it. The workflow is so much more relaxed, easier to work with and the outcome looks sooo much better.

[Tenchinu]

thnk u so much! insanely easy to follow, nd even more insanely useful.
Would love a follow-up on how you transform this to mesh and arrange UVs. Especially if you did this for full body fur

[xahIyria]

I've watched a LOT of videos and this is the easiest to follow and the best one. I've put it in a playlist to keep coming back when I need it and drill it into my brain! At least until I can do it alone! Great job!
