I know in maya you use displacement the hair system to force it to curl and different setting will give you different curls .,is there anything similar to that in houdini fur systems ?

Hi, I can't answer you question in particular (someone else probably can) but I did find this great video regarding hair made by Andrew Brown.

I found the Blender technique works well for guide hairs. (around 41min into video) I'm not sure whether or not you can apply the same theory to C4D.

hope that helps

Ah thank you ah I had the video but Now I can import the custom curves into Houdini from Cinema 3D the problem is I am not sure how to plugin them into the hair systems the video didn't really go step by step beyond ( I need to re-sample them ) so I am not sure what node they go into , I am new to Houdini though . I imported them via an alembic file so it works , the trouble I am having is how do I get them inside of the Houdini hair systems. where do I plug them in .

Hello I am coming from Cinema 4D and maya and I had a question about hair . First is there anyway to curl the hair like what is possible with the N-hair in maya and the Curl tool in Cinema 4D . And having trouble finding a guide on importing external guide curves into Houdini .
