Introduction to Ornatrix 9 3ds Max | Part 2: Editing Guides & Shaping the Hairstyle
Welcome to Part 2 of our complete course on creating realistic hair in Ornatrix for 3ds Max!
In Part 1, we created a basic hairstyle. Now, we'll refine that result using a professional grooming workflow. This episode is crucial for understanding how to manage, edit, and refine your hair guides for realistic clumping and flow.
If your "Clumping by guides" isn't working, this video explains why.
π₯ What you'll learn in this episode:
* How to reduce guide count properly (Ox Filter modifier).
* The correct workflow for "Collapse To" and using Baked Guides.
* Advanced combing: "Isolate Selected" & working in sections.
* How to add new guides with the Create Brush tool.
* Using Strand Groups to manage complex hairstyles.
* Tips for combing, lengthening, and cutting guides.
This guide editing workflow is essential for any 3D artist or character artist wanting to create believable, high-quality hair in 3ds Max using Ornatrix.
