Dude, a suggestion: I (and many other people) NEVER found a good tutorial or course that teaches how to make good feathers in Blender. I'm not referring to individual feathers, but using Blender's hair system to create a bird's feather, for example. It would be a great addition to your channel, especially with this new hair system. Congratulations on the work!

For smoother snapping to the body, instead of the selection, you can capture the position before and after the snap and use those to set up a lerp operation (Original-Snapped * Factor) and then use that as an offset in a new set position.

Thanks for sharing. Very helpful!

Excellent tutorial and great addon! I'm buying it today on gumroad! Thanks a lot!

theres 1 thing the devs need to sort out once and for all and now would be an ideal time to do so. somewhere along the chain a follicle map needs to be generated that matches the hair count and placement poorly aligned or nonexistent follicle displacement is the easiest way to id cgi from real

This tutorial is gold!! Congratulations!!!

Very cool system!

Serrr you are a geometry nodes evangelist ! this is one channel which is a one stop shop to learn geometry nodes properly .

thank you! Love your english it sounds so good and I understood all.

man, i love you !

beautiful effort my friend! I'm happy to support you! keep creating :)

Nice, thanks! I'd get it off of gumroad if it recreated some of the kink options, like wave and curl.

5:04 You can instead use a Vector Math in-between the Randomize Value and the Capture Attribute to multiply the whole vector by a value while leaving the Randomize Value parameters the same. I hope this helps.

this is a good tutorial. There is hope for my cat model to someday have hair. My suggestion is to make a second video to this for how to make the hair colored with geometry nodes and maybe another addon that can make dynamic color adjustments.

There will most likely be node groups supplied with Blender later to do those basic thing like clumping, duplicating and so on to make it a bit more user friendly.

amazing

Thank you! Is there a way to add hair dynamics via a node? Also, is there a node that could help to smooth the sharp curve angles (evee curve settings do not help that much)?

Hi, nice tutorial, thank you. For the roots attachment to the surface, maybe you could use a more progressive transition by using the curve factor instead of the points indices.

whoa...

Can you make a video that clearly explains for a beginner how to put the hair system and your geometry nodes on a character? I bought the nodes but I can't link them to a character. I followed the tutorial, but I can't manage to use your ready-made knots.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing the workflow. Question: thinking of animal fur, if I wanted to make a long fur with some patches of mud or snow attached to it, do you think it'd be possible ?

dynamics. wind blowing hair . body moments moving hair etc.

If anybody has trouble with the hair showing up, make sure the root and tip diameter is set high enough, or it will only show up when highlighted

but the hair dosent move in animation

Hello! Amazing tutorial and can't wait to play around with this setup! Just downloaded your Gumroad file and appended the Hair system to my own mesh but the hair does not show up in the renderer? I'm using Blender 3.3 and cycles, any help would be appreciated!

This new 3.3 hair only really works for models that are low poly count. It's just way too laggy for a normal full body character. For example, you cant even feasibly paint and style hair on Genesis 8 Base mesh character without it lagging out. You can split body parts, but that isnt very efficient for workflows and irritating if creating body hair. They really need to fix this.

I have a question about the gumroad hair system, is there any way to change the width of the strands to make them thicker?

Does this hair system allow for hair physics though? Does it render much faster than the original way though?

does anyone know how to change the width of the hair? when I put the hair on my model its huge and I can't seem to find the way to fix it. thanks in advance

Is there a way to change the curves into cards and convert into geo for real-time hair?

Is there a way to optimize this hair system so it doesn't have a ton of vertices

I have a question, does the gumroad version have a commercial license to it or is it a creative license? Apologies if this is obvious I dont usually purchase products, I just love your hair system so much and think it would be perfect for something I'm working on!

is it possible to increase the length in this node tree or should i do that with sculpting tools?

Is there any reason why the gumroad version doesn't work with the Eevee strip curve type? I can only get it to work with strand but I dont like the way that one looks

Hey, I know I must seem stupid, but how do I actually apply the hairgrooming system to my own surface (head)? Thanks!

Just downloaded your node tree!! however it's freezing blender immediately when I try to edit the parameters, do you have any solution to this?

will the dynamics work? thank you!

Great tutorial... much more complicated than the hair system, but I'll be switching. However, I've created eyelashes and they're not following my model when I posed it. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks. (Btw, I am using your hair system.)

is it possible to make sort of dreads type of hair?

Dude i did the tutorial super nice. I do have some questions and one suggestion. I bought your advanced hair setup and i really love it but it would have been nice for learning purposes if you would have put some labels and stuff in the node tree so you can see what is what. So the first issue i run in to with the tutorial if i render in ccles i dont have the curve options like in eevee you show. And if i go back to cycles and render the hairs are super thick I do have some questions since i use hair more in a abstract way i want to do the following. I have added this simple hair setup to a plane which gives a field of hair. I put the noise factor on 4D so i can animate the hair a bit. But i would like to be able to make the hair move like grass in the wind in a field. So i want to put a noise texture that effects the general direction of the hair. Is this possible and do you have suggestions. Im super new with geonodes so its all a bit daunting

This is a fantastic tutorial to find. However I just found the stopper. (Or personal ignorance that is). How would you export Geo Node result?

gumroad never works for me, can you post on blender market?

Having a dated PC. I initially experienced heavy lag. However, I found out that UV unwrapping the mesh first eliminated the lag.

Thank you for sharing this technique. Can this be then exported to unreal engine?

How do we color it?

I'm curious how we add physics to those new hair

Very nice. Can you collapse the hair to geometry? I tried that in the heist project and it doesn t work

I bought your system but can't figure out how to apply it to my cat mesh.

why i cant find empty hair?

Hello bro, I would like to buy a Hairgrooming System from you, but I can’t pay because I’m from Russia, how can I transfer money to you and so that you can send me a file with nodds?

How do I convert this to mesh?

Is 3.3 already available?!?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND Now try and animate it XDDD !!

Oh no, not Recetas lololol

the New Hair System Geometry Nodes very bad

it's only useful for still images/static models. you still need the old particle hair system if you intend to animate the model. and please stop jumping onto the hype train, it's the reason blender has been getting more and more broken every release since 3.0. blender these days basically operates like an MMO game now, just keep shoving in more and more new features and pushing out new releases. even the LTS versions still feel like early access games. if this trend continues, blender is going to turn into a useless piece of junk soon.

Now you can control the tightening and loosening of the roots and ends of the hair through spreading and Tip shape respectively, but there is no node that can control the middle of the hair. Can this function be added in the next update?I sent you two emails a few days ago with no response🥲
