[FXGEAR] Maya – nHair introduce

Get tried and true techniques for creating, styling, animating, and rendering hair with nHair in Autodesk Maya. Aaron F. Ross will show you how to prepare your mesh; control for stiffness, shape, and curl; trim and extend follicles; style hair with curves; and adjust color, translucency, and specular highlights. The last chapter shows you how to render nHair with Maya and mental ray.

Topics include:

• Prepping a model for hair
• Adding nHair
• Setting dynamic properties
• Adjusting clump, curl, and twist
• Painting follicle attributes
• Creating long hairstyles with curves
• Applying nConstraints
