parting line has never worked as intended/expected, easier to just split the hair into sections. example 2 hairs, one left and right side for your example

you might need more guide curves? to give hint where to go?

very interesting multiprocessing multicore examples not just for Houdini, in general

you can create a bunch of guide curves, then delete half of them, then into the clump node, you can plug all te guides into the first input and the half into the second input,
play with the number of deleted curves to get the look you desire.

(you should check check fabio hair system,)

you might need to recreate the values, check fabio hair system, they do that in their network, to assist if some one brings curves from other software,

you have a file to share?

sim a curve with less and then you can wiredeform the one with the feather.

try to use only one mask/uv for hair, using multiple gets very hairy

try fabio https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/92598/ [www.sidefx.com]
it use the materialX ready for gpu and in the nodes randomize for the curves

Just a quick video on how to use Fabio, what nodes use and so on...
more to come

I am very excited to see how Fabio became the backbone of the hair nodes that Houdini have today, from been a side project several years back, is amazing to see how many features been ported to the software, such twist along clump, deform by skin, color variance in shaders and so on, every upgrade i get happier to see the improvements.

to believe that I started as an intern at Sesi and to see code that i did as a side project and see those ideas implanted by very talented guys made me realize how much i have learn from so many talented people, from the industry to the forums you guys made this possible.


https://github.com/pelos/fabio [github.com]
need to update the website
https://polybevel.wixsite.com/fabio-hair-system [polybevel.wixsite.com]

main features:
- updated the shelf python code any developer can keep adding more nodes depending on production needs
- now that we are moving to Karma we can use the Fabio grooming geo node directly, and not the procedural for Mantra
- created another material that works with materialX nodes and can be use in xpu
- several attributes can be pass to the shader (ex if you need to change color because the hair got wet)
- most of the fabio features node at scene level been ported into a sop node to control the hair, crazy, guard and white hairs
- added several examples

i am excited to see what's come next

i belive that geometry will be hard to work, try to remesh it and have more even polys

i know hair can't because self-collisions, one hair will need the information of every other hair.

try looking at fabio hair system, you need a uv assign to the curve, create an attribute at sop lvl

check the backups

make sure you skin have rest.

is the same as if you scatter after geometry, hair will scatter first and then move the points base on the rest vs animated

the image is only save in that view, if you open multiple networks, you need to tell in wicht one to set the image,
and sometimes when i restart, they desapear

i think i got it, maybe i needed an additional constrain to pin to target and just select the roots so they get glue to the first object they find.

if i attach guide curves into a cloth object but i would like that the guides thickness also be consider in the simulation,
example you have a fur coat that fold in itself in the floor, therefor have thickness there for should not be just flat on the floor is it possible to generate the guides into the same sim loop and add a hair constrain?

i was able to do 2 sims, one for the cloth and a secondary for the guides, but... well the hair won't be considered for the motion of the cloth...

this is a small example.

(thanks, Tamte)

has anyone seen this?
that primuv is not known in the wrangler?


(By curiosity can this be done inside vopsopos? with nodes? )
