Charly 3D Tutors

  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.

 Hey everyone! Today I want to share a discovery that I'm sure will save a ton of time and nerves for many 3D artists working in Unreal Engine. Anyone who has tried to render hair in UE knows the pain: blurry details, strange shadows, and an endless, not-always-successful battle with console commands (CVars). I almost abandoned one of my own projects for this very reason until I stumbled upon the Hair Cinematic Tool 2.0 . To put it directly: this is the best and most intuitive tool for rendering hair in Unreal that I have ever used. It transforms the most complex settings into a user-friendly Blueprint with sliders and allows you to achieve stunning cinematic quality. To back this up, I recorded a detailed video where I clearly showed the entire process on my problematic project. In it, you'll see: The impressive "Before and After" difference. How simple adjustments to PPLL and Deep Shadow change everything. A quick performance test on an RTX 5090. How to use the pres...

  In this video - I show the DemoClump brush in Ornatrix for Unreal Engine 5. This brush can be used to manually create Clumps from selected hair. Sometimes you need this when you just need to manually edit something. Yes, we have the Clumper modifier and we have manual selection of guides there too, but this brush is also - sometimes - useful =) Because you have complete control over how the Clump will behave.  This brush can be used with both Edit Guides and regular hair, which you get after using the Create brush.  ___ The purpose of the series - quickly show something interesting and useful related to this plugin.  I do not spend time on the voiceover, as there are already basic lessons - which also need to do =) But since - I do not upload them very often, need to do something else - to grow the channel. ___ Just a reminder that you can become a channel sponsor and get a 95% discount - on all my assets, voiceovers in another language, etc. It's enough to do it h...
