I love the little comments you added about your experiences. I always go through so many iterations of hair for my characters before i decide on one, but it always takes me hours, if not days to finally feel happy with one. I thought I was doing something so so wrong! so thanks for reassuring me haha. It's just the creative process!
im glad! I really wanted these tutorials to contain all my thoughts, which also includes the self doubt and the remaking. Dont even worry, its VERY rare im happy with a hair straight away, i may remake it 1-2 times if its something i struggle with!
I love how you put the useful key combos and just how you show where you click and tell whats more comfartable for you, its amazing and clear, i love it. Never change!
I’m glad you found it helpful!! I use a lot of hot keys in blender so I knew it might be confusing! I also know there are thousands of ways to make hair
Ikr I had to ask someone to help me dissect what Shonzo was doing in his videos since everyone recommends him for learning to make models. I want to say that’s ctrl v?
Well, I never ended up doing this, but I come back to it like... once every few months since this kind of pretty hair is the type I wanna model. Yesterday, during a bout of sleeplessness, I actually manage to draw some hair that I'm satisfied with, and I'm going to use what I'm learning here to make it happen. My hope is I actually do it this time.
Also, I've been putzing around with trying to get my hair rig to move right. I didn't know to switch to Global Space and Individual Origins! Thank you! This helps sooooo much!
WOW. I'm only just getting into hair modeling but this looks great! You've got a TON of talent and I hope you keep doing videos like these so dinguses like me can try to reach this level :')
Thank you so so, SO much for this tutorial- i cant put into words how hard i found it to even try making hair, it always came out wrong and i gave up before completing but this has helped me beyond words. Your a really inspiring creator, thank you again!
Here is a thing I observe that I think should be noted by people new to sculpting hair with curves like this. There's a good reason to start a curve from mesh as done here instead of just with the "add curve" option. IT DRAMATICALLY affects how blender will add geometry to the lines you are working with in edit mode. I have always found curves to be fussy, but after having learned this tip, they are MUCH easier to work with in the viewport. The geometry actually BEHAVES when you extrude and rotate the curve!
Wow! You make it look so easy! I've always wanted to make different things like this mostly for myself, but can't seem to figure things out properly. Maybe one day.
it looks so cute and good o.o uve done a really good job with it and i subbed to u immediately when i saw the poly splitting at the end of the hair strans >w< this might even help me a lot with my exams that are on :3 bc i have to model a character and also do the hair with curves ^^
i thought me adding an extra 8 bones for the hair was bad... i didnt realise people were out here adding five billion ;o; awesome work, i appreciate the tutorial!
im glad you liked it!! personally i love having very flowy hair, so i add bones to almost every strand (for long hair) of course it can be optimised better, but that is entirely up to you how you want to rig it. things like, opti models and even quest models will need less bones ofc! but i usually dont work with long hairs like this for those types of models c:
i have learned two more things about blender today-- that i can use the annotate tool in the sculpting/modeling mode, and that I could've been edgesplitting when i needed fingers and or strands this whole time. Even when you're about to graduate art school, you're still learning;;;
Friggin amazing, i have been trying to make a solid hair for the longest time with no luck, also- whats that HDRI youre using?? I love the way it looks
There are plenty of tutorials you’re just looking in the wrong places! I literally taught myself from UA-cam tutorials “how to make hair in blender” lmao
U literally r a goddess for this tutorial , thank u sooo muchhhhh❤❤❤❤❤❤ btw , u think a good low poly of a limit of 10k triangles is possible with this method? 😢
oh definitely! the hair in the video is only 11k iirc, ive made hairs that are around 6k too with this method :D this is the best (i believe) for achieving good looking low poly hairs
very nice, just a heads up for future videos, the overall resolution of the video is pretty low and it's hard to read anything, so you should probably change a few settings in OBS if that's what you're using
Thanks. But video looks fine to me on mobile and pc ^.^ i never asked for any tips for the video so please refrain next time from giving unwanted advice ❤️
Amazing video! The music you chose and the commentary really makes it smooth and pleasing to watch. I have a question tho, isn’t that too much bones for VR chat and FaceMocap? Would that be suitable for a Vtuber for example? Thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
make sure youre in edit mode! if it still doesnt work, you may need to check your keybinds. otherwise there is a button at the top of your viewport that is next to the little magnet 'snapping' tool, you can hover over and see what key it is bound to! (its a little circle with a small dot inside)
@@Br4tBunny make sure youre in edit mode when you want to do proportional edit, the circle will come up when you press g to move! then just adjust the circle by scrolling (sometimes you wont see it because its either too big or too small, so just keep scrolling in or out til you see it)
From the way you word this, i do not think you want to buy my hairs for the use they are intended for. My hairs are made for VRChat. You will recieve an FBX file, and yes it comes rigged. If you took a few minutes to read the gumroad listings your questions would be answered
@@slt4463 I don’t retopo because I poly model, no need for retopology when the topo is good to begin with, polys don’t matter in vrc and honestly 200k isn’t the worst. My recent models have all been low 100k my most recent being 69k, this is because I keep my topology good as I’m working rather than needing to redo it later on. Adds unneeded hours to the modelling process imo, works for others but not me!
Everything is going by supper fast, I can’t keep up with what you’re doing, one minute there’s 2 strands of hair, the next there’s like 15, and I gotta keep going back to see what you did to get that many and usually don’t end up with a solid answer
thats why you gotta read along with what i write in my notes!! :D sped up parts arent really needing to be explained, i give you a guide then you gotta figure out the rest :3 if you need it slower just use youtubes in player speed changer
That edge splitting tip is so simple yet powerful, great results!
Thank you so much!!
i don't even use blender or VRchat but this hair you created looked so beautiful, you're amazing!! i'm glad you popped up in my recommended
thankyou for the kind words!! ❤

Edge splitting exists??? Bruh why didn't anyone tell me before :') this tutorial may be what makes me go try again finally. Hair is where I'm stuck...
Edge splitting was such a wild discovery for me 😭 such a small simple thing but adds so much detail!!
Ikr I had to ask someone to help me dissect what Shonzo was doing in his videos since everyone recommends him for learning to make models. I want to say that’s ctrl v?
@@dynogamergurl no! its just v, i write all the keybinds in the video ^-^
@@DarcyFBX ahh it’s just v, I’m still learning so I constantly forget it if I don’t keep a sticky note app note on screen 😅

This video is an amazing guide to follow :D!! Thank you very much Darcy I was able to make hair in blender
Wow! You make it look so easy! I've always wanted to make different things like this mostly for myself, but can't seem to figure things out properly. Maybe one day.
Honestly edge splitting looks so satisfying
IT IS i swear, fave part in a tie with texturing
if i were you i would be appreciating my work WAY MORE!!!! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
thank you so much for the compliment!!
@@DarcyFBX anytime!!! love the work, keep it up!!😋
Perfect tutorial, there are so many good technics used, now i just need to learn the progress :D thank you
This was so incredibly helpful after looking at SO MANY tutorials. This was the best one I came across!
this is so inspiring, the amount of effort and time to make this piece is honestly so amazing. I strive to create pieces like this soon
this is georgeous omg
FINALLY. The tutorial the world needed!!! Thank you so much😍💖💖
it looks so cute and good o.o uve done a really good job with it and i subbed to u immediately when i saw the poly splitting at the end of the hair strans >w< this might even help me a lot with my exams that are on :3 bc i have to model a character and also do the hair with curves ^^

This tutorial is the best what i find! I really hope for more video for you
oh my god wowwww. Thank youuuu so muchhhhhh!!!!! ♥ ♥
Got some amazing insight on how to improve my own workflow. thank you for the fantastic video!
your awesome and super talented, tysm for the tut x
bless you for making this !
i have learned two more things about blender today-- that i can use the annotate tool in the sculpting/modeling mode, and that I could've been edgesplitting when i needed fingers and or strands this whole time. Even when you're about to graduate art school, you're still learning;;;
This video helped me a TON! In the future, do you think there’ll be a video on how to texture this hair?
i dont know! there are already a bunch of free hair textures out there for ppl to use, but i might make a video on how i drew my own textures
@@DarcyFBXPlease I would love that! ❤
What a wonderful tutorial! Thank you!
This was such a perfect video, thank you)
Mannnn I use edge splitting daily, but never thought to use it like this! ❤
godsent tutorial, thanks dude
Incredible work, thank you!! This way of using curves is so good! 💗💗
Thank you so much, amazing tutorial!
Great tutorial) thank you
you are probably the reason I want to learn blinder so bad
This is such an amazing break down on it thank you so much
I’m glad you were able to find it helpful !! ❤️
That's very cool!
Can you make a vid on how you made the head and textured it?
Thanks a lot for the time lapse and for the captions. This indeed is entertaining a useful. Greetings!
Was this all done with a mouse? Or just the beginning sketches? Either way omg this is amazing
all done with mouse yes! I rarely use a tablet for modelling
@@DarcyFBXwOW youre good at mouse drawing then;; my tablet sketches have a quality goal now;;
Love this technique def going to try it out. Really good tutorial though as well.

bruh what 😭
thank you for the tut ur awesome
This is so beautiful. ❤ Please tell me how you're soo good at making cute hair. 😊
years and years of practice!
Thank you, you're so talented! I found your tutorial so helpful and better than most, some day I'll reach your level! 🤭💕 @@DarcyFBX
Extremely informative and helpful! Thank youu
Glad I could help!! ❤️🌸
Friggin amazing, i have been trying to make a solid hair for the longest time with no luck, also- whats that HDRI youre using?? I love the way it looks
i hope this tut helps! Also im unsure, but i download all my hdris from poly haven :D
im trying to do the edge splitting method, but im so confused. at 8:15 how does your proportional editing not affect the the main strand??
@@SERASORCERER “connected only” is ticked
@@DarcyFBX ohh thank you! where do you tick that on?
@ in the proportional edit settings
How did you learn to do hair? I loved your work, I never found any tutorials on the internet, so I was curious lol
There are plenty of tutorials you’re just looking in the wrong places! I literally taught myself from UA-cam tutorials “how to make hair in blender” lmao
Oh thank you so much for answering me, your tutorial is literally the best tutorial there is, please make more tutorials😭😭@@DarcyFBX
@@Not.Geminni I will be this year!! Stay tuned :D

imma give this edge splitting malarchy a go lmao i have a model that would look so much better with it ty :3
More please ❤❤❤
Subscribed! Thank you. BTW do you have any 3D hair with CC BY license, i need to use it on my personal project for Instagram Effect.
Fire
could you recommend a tutorial on how to assaign physbones to the bones in unity. So it flows nicely and collied with the body properly
im sure if you just look up on google/ youtube youll find some :) i personally dont know any 'good' ones
Woah nice tech and result, but damn it seems so time consuming.
not too time consuming! most hairs take maybe 2-3 hours c: depending on the complexity
7:40 what is that hair texture image and how do you make it?
i drew it
@@DarcyFBX gotcha. I can't draw but I did find something similar called 'hair cards' that one can make in blender.
very nice, just a heads up for future videos, the overall resolution of the video is pretty low and it's hard to read anything, so you should probably change a few settings in OBS if that's what you're using
Thanks. But video looks fine to me on mobile and pc ^.^ i never asked for any tips for the video so please refrain next time from giving unwanted advice ❤️
Can anyone explain the splitting to me? mine was not not splitting just dragging
Amazing video! The music you chose and the commentary really makes it smooth and pleasing to watch. I have a question tho, isn’t that too much bones for VR chat and FaceMocap? Would that be suitable for a Vtuber for example? Thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@shainespc4132 idk what face mocap is. The number of bones is completely fine.
The hair flips/inverts when using this method, whats the workaround?
Это видео мне очень сильно помогло. Надеюсь успею закончить работу за неделю лол :ъ
How did you make the tips highligthed with color? Been trying to figure that part out my self but i have no clue how to do so?
thats a unity setting, using emission
amazing
struggling to figure out to get the handles to curve the hair in edit mode (,:
i cant get the o hotkey for praportional editing to work
make sure youre in edit mode! if it still doesnt work, you may need to check your keybinds. otherwise there is a button at the top of your viewport that is next to the little magnet 'snapping' tool, you can hover over and see what key it is bound to! (its a little circle with a small dot inside)
@@DarcyFBX its keybinded right cus when i hito that little dot in a dot turns blu but i dont get the grey circle thing for the tool
@@Br4tBunny make sure youre in edit mode when you want to do proportional edit, the circle will come up when you press g to move! then just adjust the circle by scrolling (sometimes you wont see it because its either too big or too small, so just keep scrolling in or out til you see it)
curious so all the hair are flat planes?? if so, I should def try this in the future. it might be easier for me to make the textures
Planes, but not flat yeah
Is the purchase of your hair a Blender engineering file with skeletal dynamics binding
From the way you word this, i do not think you want to buy my hairs for the use they are intended for. My hairs are made for VRChat. You will recieve an FBX file, and yes it comes rigged. If you took a few minutes to read the gumroad listings your questions would be answered
I don't want to buy it. I mainly want to learn about your skeletal dynamics. May I ask what plugin you use to apply weights
I wanted to buy it, that's why I asked if it has any dynamics
Nice
i got everything but everytime i join the seperated hair pieces backtogether they either dont work or get stuck (any tips how to fix this??)
Not sure what you mean by this. Try word your question better
@@DarcyFBX i meant the vertices of parts of the hair i was just weightpainting wrong lol i figured it out tho sorry heh XD
Which base model did you used?
How do you save and import to vroid?
@@saadiftikhar3317 no clue, maybe google it
curve keeps inverting and flipping directions plz help?
use ctrl+t
Do you topo your models? Or like is it depending on the pay for the models
not sure what you mean by that! you cant really "topo" things, unless you mean something else.
@@DarcyFBX oh my bad do you retopo? or do you keep it at like 200k polys cause ive seen a lot of vrchat avi creators do that but idk
@@slt4463 I don’t retopo because I poly model, no need for retopology when the topo is good to begin with, polys don’t matter in vrc and honestly 200k isn’t the worst.

what version of blender did you use?? When i to ctrl+s to make the end point it just doesnt work

oh i ment alt+s then im slow lol, but i cant resize the end points and i followed it exactly@@DarcyFBX
@@Cethea925 well, I use blender 2.8 and I use default key binds so you must’ve changed something!

Not really ^.^

When I upload to VRchat, will the back side of my hair become transparent?
@@hebishiro-n3o no. If you use poiyomi, learn to turn off backface culling
