How to Export Hair From ZBrush To Unreal with Ornatrix?
In the previous lessons, we exported hairstyles from ZBrush into Maya and 3ds Max with Ornatrix.
This time, we’ll take it further and bring the hairstyle all the way into Unreal Engine. You’ll learn how to: • Export curves from ZBrush and prepare them in Maya • Convert curves into Ornatrix guides and export with Ornatrix Alembic • Import into Unreal Engine and set up the Groom component • Edit and refine the hairstyle with Ornatrix UE tools • Adjust density, brush new strands, and tweak hair materials By the end, you’ll have a complete workflow from ZBrush to Unreal with a fully editable hairstyle inside Ornatrix UE.
