Hair and Animal Fur

Xgen hair

Process:

1. Create a low-poly scalp ➡️ Unfold UVs ➡️ Use Poly Hair Transform to curve ➡️ Group them ➡️ Then create an XGen layer ➡️ Set hair properties:
   • Density
   • Length
   • Curliness
   • Noise
   • Clump
   • Cut
   • Set aiStandardSurface as the material and adjust color parameters (base color/melanin/melanin redness) ➡️ Done (Note: The same steps apply to eyelashes and eyebrows ⬆️)

It’s worth noting that XGen hair can be used as a reference and imported into different Maya files. Do not delete the history, as it could significantly affect XGen’s operation.
