Overcoming 255 CV Limit in Ornatrix Maya to UE: Dreadlocks Tutorial

 


How to Bypass the 255 CV Limitation in Unreal Engine 5.3 Using Ornatrix in Maya

In this video, I provide a detailed explanation of how to overcome the 255 CV point limit on curves in Unreal Engine (starting from version 5.3) using the capabilities of Ornatrix in Maya. This method enables the creation of complex hairstyles, such as dreadlocks, without compromising quality.
