True! I'd want to make one full process hair tutorial per year at this rate 😆

Time to refine the shapes and work on modifiers

No, I don’t use ai tools in my workflow and I won’t in the future

Thankyou! Its difficult to say- I've spent a few evenings on this so far though

I've been following Sefki Ibrahim's course on hyperreal character creation, working through it in chunks but loving it so far, highly recommend
www.sefkiibrahim.com/hyperreal-ch...

Attempting a gentle Keira Knightley likeness (not putting too much pressure on myself with that because I don't enjoy it) and then going sicko mode on the hair and outfit (doing a strand groom with this one)

Why did they betray me :(

It was! I turned it off in the mesh first which didn't change but then I turned it off in the project, restarted and it worked, then turned it back on in the project but off in the mesh and I'm all good now :D Thankyou so much!

The mesh viewer was a good sanity check thankyou! It was still a problem in there, turns out it was having 'nanite support' turned on on the mesh that was causing it

Tried that, also unlocked the normals in maya and imported it as a new mesh with the settings unchecked but still the same 😭

None that I can see- it looks fine in marmoset so I'm thinking its a weird unreal quirk

No difference unfortunately :(
