YES YES YES!!! OMG YOU MADE ME REALIZE WHAT I WAS DOING WRONG, I NEEDED TO USE INTERACTIVE SPLINE FOR MY ANIMATION FOR GEN TO FOLLOW - YES THANK YOU!!!!!!! YOU ARE SAINT!!!!!!!! MY BRAIN IS FRIED FROM 10 STRAIGHT HOURS OF FIGURING WHAT I WAS DOING WRONG!!! I'M TAKING A SHOWER AND EATING NOW! THANKS!!!
I always admired your tutorials Monica - you are my top favorite teacher on platform for Maya and ZBrush !!! - thank you so much for your time and efforts for providing us as a community with such a QUALITY tutorials - and please Keep Up the good work :D ! kind regards to all 🙂
Omgosh I freaking love you I love you so much I have been looking everywhere for you literally I mean like I cannot find the help that I needed until I found you thank you so much and I love you God bless you and thank you
I have learned so much from you in the past couple of months! these tutorials are great and fills out the gaps I had! I have seen a lot of xgen tutorials on youtube, but never about what happens next - the whole workflow of rendering hair which is attached(or parented?) to the character which moves. Meaning - how to make hair to follow the character and make it flow accordingly to the characters movements. How to prepare the scene(cache or convert guides to something else?export to .abc?) for the batch rendering. I've been trying to solve this puzzle by reading Autodesk support pages about dynamic curves, Nucleus forces and how to save and setup dynamic curves for rendering..on the paper it looks so easy! If you ever have time to look into it and make a tutorial, I think you will be very popular and super appreciated :)) anyways, thank you. I'm a big fan!
Tnq monika 👍 ..How to scale hair small in size..? hair and head I mean to match the body size,when I do scale in small size hair will be bigger nd covering entair body..
Very nice video. I have a problem creating hair, it's growing everywhere and getting through the mesh, it's not following spline. Please advise me, thank you.
Hii, I found your tutorial but when I change the hair direction (with the comb) the hair stays the same but only in the render, I can see the changes on my modeling screen but it doesnt affect on my render, do you know why?
Hello, how did you get all these parameters in generator? At the beginning of the video, because I absolutely do not have these parameters. (I'm French so I use Google translate)
thank you for this tutorial but when i start to use the comb tool, maya shows me a massage : open cl is disabled, open out put window for more information. and it doesn't work..... (also i checked the out put window but it just shows me of the other actions i did.... and nothing about comb tool or xgen
Thank you so much I learnt a lot today. I want to also learn how to make a braided hair. It will be nice if you can illustrate this in your next video. Thank you
I need ton of video oh hair.. realistic to curly to pony tail to every thing.. thank u soo soooooo much... and can u please put urself in a side webcam.. you look gorgeous😍😍😍
Thanks alot for this tutorial.. I want to ask whether i can render this kind of xgen hair by using maya software or not. Do i must have to render it in arnold? thank you
Hi could you do detailed vdo on doing a generic hair cut male/female and cover the complete process of converting to hair card??or dynamic hairs for game?
This is a wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much for this !!! Your voice adds a lot to the tutorial and I really appreciate it. I do have a question though: if I were to make a character with long hair would I only increase the length of the sides and the back? I tried increasing the length of the whole thing and I was having problems with the hairs going through the head even with collide with meshes on. Thanks!
hello, your tutorial is very good ! but i can't convert my hair to polygon mesh... because no spline i don't know why the message of error is "no preview visible. The description is not bound to any geometry in the scene" my hair doesn't exist for maya :/ how can i do ?
Hey Monica I love your tutorials. They are clear, too the point and help me make sense of this cumbersome piece of crap Maya is. One question: If I create more than one XGen description on a surface, the later ones can not be combed. Other tools, like increasing density do work. Restarting Maya fresh does not help (as is usually the case when Maya tools go sour). If I delete the first description, my second description can be combed... So it seems only the first description can be combed. I can groom the descriptions separately in scenes with only one description, save and import one description into the other, but then the second can not be combed anymore. Do you know a workaround for this? Thanks.
One Question. May sound some kond of dump, but how do I get that hair fixed to a surface?. For example on a Sphere. If I move the Sphere, the Hair does not remain attached to the Surface.
💖Thank you ma'am for wonderful and amazing tutorial on xgen and We want more ,more tutorial on xgen and colourful texture like rainbow (multiple colours if possible) .. Thank you so much once again ❤️
Thank you for the video! I have been trying to learn X-gen and it is so good to see it on your channel! Can you please advise why you have chosen to use Xgen Interactive Groom Editor instead of Xgen Editor? What would be the difference between them? Thank you very much in advance! :)
This looks like a great tutorial, but it is not bringing me to the promised land of a good groom. Following your directions precisely I keep getting the same error, and I am not allowed to comb or sculpt. It says "no active description to use with" and then "Need to specify a valid sculpt node to groom on". Everything on my screen looks just like yours, but that comb brush (and other tools, including the sculpting tools) only brings up errors. Did you skip some important step somewhere or am I missing something obvious...thanks?
YES YES YES!!! OMG YOU MADE ME REALIZE WHAT I WAS DOING WRONG, I NEEDED TO USE INTERACTIVE SPLINE FOR MY ANIMATION FOR GEN TO FOLLOW - YES THANK YOU!!!!!!! YOU ARE SAINT!!!!!!!!

Very nice video. I have a problem creating hair, it's growing everywhere and getting
through the mesh, it's not following spline. Please advise me, thank you.
Also, how do you set the physics for wind and movement.
hello I dont have the tab from the right side of the screen with the little eyes after clicking to "Create interactive groom splines" :/
My best instructor, thank u very much
Hii, I found your tutorial but when I change the hair direction (with the comb) the hair stays the same but only in the render, I can see the changes on my modeling screen but it doesnt affect on my render, do you know why?
WOW Very cool!!! I wait for another tutorial about dynamic hair. Thank you so much

Monica Really I'm waiting for this
I didn't use XGEN yet so this will be a good start and with you as always
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu soooooooooooo much
You're welcome 😊 Hope you like it!
@@AcademicPhoenixPlus very much thank you
Great video. I really learned a lot. Should you model hair before or after rigging the character?
i liked, i shared, i subscribed! hoping you get to do a beard or low cut fade or drake style soon.
How do you move a mesh that has xgen hair on it? When i do it only the mesh moves and the hair stays in place!!
Monica is there a way to convert XGen to hair Cards, once you have created your hair style?
Thank you so much
I learnt a lot today. I want to also learn how to make a braided hair. It will be nice if you can illustrate this in your next video. Thank you
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
А что делать с волосами после? Как их закинуть например в unreal Engine?
I need ton of video oh hair.. realistic to curly to pony tail to every thing.. thank u soo soooooo much... and can u please put urself in a side webcam.. you look gorgeous😍😍😍
Curls and pony tail... I like these idea! Thank you for your suggestions and for watching! ❤️
@@AcademicPhoenixPlus ❤️
How to rig these hairs and bind this to my geometry?
Thanks alot for this tutorial.. I want to ask whether i can render this kind of xgen hair by using maya software or not. Do i must have to render it in arnold? thank you
Hi could you do detailed vdo on doing a generic hair cut male/female and cover the complete process of converting to hair card??or dynamic hairs for game?
All is right with the universe, thank you so much for this
Lol! That's a great comment! :D Thank you!!
Hi Monica, I have Maya 2018, can I still follow the tutorial or would it be frustrating that many features will be missing?
This is a wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much for this !!! Your voice adds a lot to the tutorial and I really appreciate it. I do have a question though: if I were to make a character with long hair would I only increase the length of the sides and the back? I tried increasing the length of the whole thing and I was having problems with the hairs going through the head even with collide with meshes on. Thanks!

Hey, it's very helpful and plz Make a video tutorial on skin hair. How to creat and render it on xgen .
Nice video.
A tutorial on afro hair would be priceless 💖💖💖

Just found your channel. Really useful stuff for the future for me. I'm still learning Maya

Thank you for the video! I have been trying to learn X-gen and it is so good to see it on your channel! Can you please advise why you have chosen to use Xgen Interactive Groom Editor instead of Xgen Editor? What would be the difference between them? Thank you very much in advance! :)
How are we post to turn it into mash
I love your hair style 😍
Thank you! It's usually curly but I was doing a straight hair in xgen tutorial, so though it was appropriate. :)
This is the best xgen tutorial. thx
Wow! Thank you so much! 💖💖

I might have figured it out. THAT EDIT BUTTON MUST BE RED...just like in your video. Hey hey. I missed something afterall!
Nice job trouble shooting!
your videos are really helpful
Glad you think so! Thank you for watching!
Can you tell your system configuration please?
Sure! Intel Core i7 6700K 4.0GHz, 16GB DDR4, 500GB SSD, 2TB Storage, GeForce GTX 1060 6GB :)
Great Jobs. We learn with you
So glad you liked it! Thank you for watching
