@robp_sidefx - are you able to give a steer on whether it would be possible enable the SOP GuideDeform 'Arbitrary Geometry' mode within the current Solaris Hair Procedural? We'd be up for customising the
hair_graph.bgeo.sc (have had success following the steps mentioned on the other thread to avoid the issue of moving roots to the skin) but only to the level of bypassing/enabling parts of the existing graph.
Does the existing embedded graph have the logic for enabling 'Arbitrary Geometry' in deformation mode and it's just not exposed at the user level, or is the graph a more stripped back implementation?
If it's a no go with hacking the existing
hair_graph.bgeo.sc, would implementing that behaviour into the Hair Procedural be a quick and easy thing for Sidefx to do.. or is there a good reason why it's not there already?
many thanks
