In this video, we explore the magical wonders of using particles to create strands and rendering them in a way that blends nicely with our friend Hoobert. These techniques can be used for any sort of magical fx, but it's also useful for rendering strands and hair in general.

Can you talk more about setup in Redshift OBJ tag, I turn on Strands render and it's take forever to render

[@cgforge]

Hey Zodiac, one thing that might help is doing a resample on your curves so that it uses less points. More points = more polygons when it goes to generate the strands

I appreciate the new intro sound. The previous was a bit too sharp and kind of hurt my ears
