The Best Way to make Hair?

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Hello all,
I am making a model and i have been wondering how to make hair for it.
I have seen a few tut's that use PaintFX and a few other methods like that but it still doesn't help. If anyone could provide a link to any tutorials it would be greatly apreciated user added image

Yup, the hair simulator isn't that good.

actually, if you can figure it out, it is very realistic, so i suggest you try and learn it, and may i suggest the Digital Tutors hair training kit, its very good for learning hair

Joopson:
I really like the 2 things in your portfolio that are teh last one (the jello tree, or ocean?) and the furred ... swimming(?) thing with many black teeth.

Congratulations.

However, the rest of the stuff is either cool but intensly weird, or just kinda bad( no offence)

Keep going though, I LOVE your materials; all the shiny metals and the jello, I wish I could make materials like that
lol

cheers, bobalie
