Okay, so I'm just sorta thought gathering here. Since starting Daz I've struggled to find hair assets that are what I'm looking for. Some are similar, but off in one way or another. One I'm currently using is old as dirt and even with Iraypair it stands out.
I know hair is supposed to be one of the more daunting things to create and I'd gladly settle for a decent way to edit existing hair.
So far I've found a video on editing hair slightly in blender and lots of vague tuts on strand based hair (don't get me started, I can't get a straight cut in that thing to save my life. Everything ends up looking like a toddler found the scissors).
So, kinda hoping to get some first hand knowledge, so I know what I need to know and where to start.
Rank:
For Blender try Wingfox – Creating Realistic Hair in Blender for Cycles Render (2021) with Maria Anikina. I don't use Blender but the tutorial is out in the wild.
Personally i rarely mess with hair except for the odd cut and blow dry in Zbrush for posing purposes using the move topologies brush. I can chop hairsyles up but then I have to take them back to DS and add all the morphs and textures. And a lot of the times it can go horribly wrong if the hair model is of poor quality to begin with.
@billyhill Thanks, I have blender, but I haven't really messed with it yet. The Daz forum had more people arguing about Hexagon vs Blender vs ZBrush than any helpful information.
@Ethiopia , thanks! Once I finish this batch of renders I'll crack it open and see what I can figure out.
Lol, yeah, half the thread was "use this Hexagon tutorial" followed by "No one uses Hexagon!" that and a ton of technical jargon that I'm not savvy enough to understand yet, outside of remembering those terms from loading The Sims lol.
