Stop Guessing Hair Volume: The Raw Scan Workflow for Bangs (Ornatrix / 3ds Max)

Image
  The " Uncanny Valley " often hides in the forehead. Specifically, in how the hair transitions from the scalp (the parting) and how the bangs sit relative to the face. In  Episode 3  of our specialized Grooming Course, we tackle the most defining area of any hairstyle: The Parting and The Bangs . The Problem: Grooming on Proxies Many 3D artists make a fundamental mistake: they judge hair volume based solely on the low-poly proxy mesh ( retopo ). The problem? A proxy mesh is an approximation. It often lacks the subtle surface nuances of the real head. If you groom the bangs "by eye" on a proxy, you often end up with two issues: The "Wig" Effect:  The hair sits too high/far from the skin. The "Clip" Effect:  The hair intersects with the real volume of the forehead when rendered. The Solution: Raw Scan as a Reference In this tutorial, I demonstrate a production-proven technique:  Loading the Raw High-Res Scan . I don't just use this for colli...

Mastering the Mask Pipeline in Ornatrix 9: Strand Groups & Selection Hacks (Ep 2)

Image
  Welcome back to the Charly Tutors blog! Today, we are diving into Episode 2 of our new collaboration series with Ephere . We are tackling one of the most common frustrations in 3D grooming: Managing Chaos . When creating graphic hairstyles like a sharp Bob cut , working with a single hair object can quickly become a nightmare. You try to comb the back, but you accidentally mess up the internal layers. You try to select the roots, but you grab the tips. The solution? The Mask Pipeline . What is the Mask Pipeline? The core concept is moving away from "eyeballing" and towards a procedural, grouped structure + painted masks for distribution and etc . In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to assign specific Strand Groups to logical zones of the head: Occiput (Back) Temples (Sides) Bangs (Front) By using the Edit Guides modifier, we can instantly isolate, hide, or lock these groups. This gives you surgical precision over your groom. 🔥 The "Strand Len...
