Great plug in. I am struggling to find the generate tab within the first generator on my version though. Has this step changed or am I missing something? Thanks
@@studiotouge , thanks! Yes, the generate check box is not needed now. You can just start play with the Density prameter right away.
@@iraklikupunia thanks for the speedy reply! I am looking forward to trying it out some more
@@studiotouge you're welcome!
Hey there, will we get an updated video tutorials for the new features?
In blender 4.1 ( as of today ) , in the nodes properties, is "Freeze" generator the same as the generate tickbox ? I do not see it in my version.
hair cards added to this bad boy to for video game extractional type stuff. keep up the good work edward snowden 🍀
Hello. I modeled the hair and added fluff but want to separate the fluff from the main hair to reduce the thickness, how can this be done?
Hello, What exactly do you mean by "Fluff"? If you are talking about some noise effect. You could probably use masking. By painting some areas black you could reduce the effect.
As a relative beginner (1 year) this is brilliant what blender 4 should have included. They should buy this system from you and incorporate it into the next release. Easier that Maya.
I wanted to understand how you did the thumb braids
Sorry, there is no tutorial yet if you have some specific question or blend file I could take a look at, you can send me it via DM on Blenderartists.org or X (Twitter).
@@iraklikupunia ok!! Thank you very much!
Can you use a hair curves object that already has some guides with the plugin?
No there is no such function that will convert the existing groom to Medusa Nodes' groom, not at this point. It requires some manual steps in the node editor. This option is on the To-do list.
why does the regionmap painting dosent work ?
Hello, could please send a screenshot via gumroad or blenderartist.org?
where can i contact u there?@@iraklikupunia
i work in blender 4.0 and I work according to your tutorial and it just doesn't work @@iraklikupunia
@@pumedace6700 If it is ok for you, are you able to send or share the blend file?
It dont work on 4.0.
Hello, I have fixed the zip file. You can download the file again from the Gumroad page.
Question? I have styled hair with your awesome addon to a rigged character. when I go to pose the head. the Hair stays in the default rig position. the hair follows the head but the hair stays in the position of the guides. How to fix the guides to follow the hair Cap ?
Thanks, appreciate your feedback. As for your question, here is the post with short demonstration on how to attach the hair to the skinned or deformed geometry: blenderartists.org/t/hair-medusa-nodes/1336677/480?u=ikakupa
@@iraklikupunia I will give it a try. Man this addon is incredible. Thank you for making it.
@@iraklikupunia That worked. I had to add it to the Guides, but it worked, thank you.
If I have created connected to a rigged character, how do I make it move with the rig? I love what I’ve been able to do so far with this addon but I don’t know how to move.
Hey, here is the post with a short video demonstration on how to connect the hair to the emitter geometry: blenderartists.org/t/hair-medusa-nodes/1336677/480?u=ikakupa
Ich habe überall recherchiertund dein twitter auch nachgeschaut aber habe keine richtige hilfe gefunden wie ich den addon benutzen kann um braids zu machen😭
bitte mach mal tutorial wie man diese zöpfe macht wo du im anderen video gezeigt hast
plsss make tutorial how to make braids like that, ive bought this addon and dont know how to really use it😭
Hey, the addon is still in its beta development phase and I am actively working on a new update at the moment. Hence, there is no tutorial for the time being. In the future I am definitely going to make one specifically for the braids. If you have some issues feel free to DM me your blend file via Twitter or blenderartists.org. I will take a look at it.
I bought the plugin and made a beard and mustache. How can we connect this to the rig? I can't find the tutorial.
Hey, Here are the steps: 1. Apply the "MedusaNodes" GN modifier on the hair object. 2. Now you can enter the "Sculpt Mode" on your hair object and click on the "Snap to Nearest Surface" under the "Curves" menu. 3. Finally add the new GN modifier to your hair object and add the "Surface Deform" nodegroup to the modifier.
What is GN modifier?😬
@@iraklikupunia As far as I understand, I tried it. I can't help it. We need to see the workflow.
@@hamdullahguclu9743 that simply means "Geometry Nodes" modifier. Which you can add to your object like a regular modifier.
@@hamdullahguclu9743 if you are fine with sending me the blend file, I could take a quick look at it.
is there the way to use simulations using this addon?
I bought your addon. Could you create tutor how to create braids exactly in this video? thank you!
hey there, just got the addon and love it. wondering if it needs to be rendered in cycles to get the effect "real" effect or if it can be done in eevee as well
Thanks for you feedback! I would say you could definitely achieve the realistic hair look in some Eevee scenes, but it is definitely easier to do it in Cycles.
it took me a very long time to understand the new hair node system from blender, but you gave it an inuitive UI and a GREAT tutorial, thank you so much
Hey there, region mask painting doesn't do anything for some reason
Hey, could you DM me vie Twitter: @KupuniaIrakli?
Compatible with 3.6.1 LTS version ?
Hey, I have tested it myself, it looks like it is compatible with the 3.6.1 LTS version.
Really awesome! I've been wanting something like this to be in Blender for a while now, Blender hair particle system and even the curves now are not really comparable to xgen and this seems to up the game quite a bit
Thank you!
can i export to alembic?
Blenders regular alembic exporter should do the job. Only make sure that the Medusa Nodes GN modifier is applied on the hair object.
Is it possible to have an explicit tutorial with this tool? If so I buy the Medusa addon right away.
Just here to say that this addon is amazing, can't wait for an update
just bought it.. is there away for the guide or the hair using our own curve from bezier curve ?
Hey, You can make a collection with custom bezier curves inside it. Then you can just drag and drop the collection into the Generator of the Guide Curves object. In this post there is a little video where you can see that: blenderartists.org/t/hair-medusa-nodes/1336677/365
@@iraklikupunia OMG thank you that works really awesome..
TH-cam comments keep getting erased!!! I don't know why ;'-{ Is it because I attached an email address.. So I sent you a tweet, can you check it out? I don't know if I sent it properly because I haven't used Twitter. I couldn't send a Twitter message, so I sent it to Twitter Circle. I'd appreciate it if you could check it out!
I can't find your tweet, could you maybe reach out on blenderartists.org/t/hair-medusa-nodes or Medusa Nodes Gumroad's support page?
Hello! I bought this product and tried to work on it, but the section is not automatically divided in the region map part. What's the reason? The operation is not carried out at 1 minute and 24 seconds of the above video. It is painted, but the hair is not divided according to the painted region. And when you work on it, it says emitterGeometry001 in the mesh data column of the property window, but in mine, it just says the name of the hair cap. I really want to make hair, but it's frustrating because it doesn't work. Do you know the solution?
Hey! I am not sure what exactly the issue is. Could you please send me the Blend file via Twitter?
@@iraklikupunia I left a link address earlier. Did you see it? I'd appreciate it if you could watch it when you have time.
@@user-eh7to1sn3c Unfortunately I cannot find the link you have mentioned. Could you please send me the link again.
@@iraklikupunia drive.google.com/file/d/1JNYlkemepVEaiwN81GYXQJrjiBemqroF/view?usp=sharing here! thank you so much!
@@user-eh7to1sn3c thanks for the link. I would like to send you some screenshots, could you give me an email, or your Twitter handle?
came for the tutorial, stayed for the hairstyle
can you make to region map like mask how far map effects (like in xgen)
Yes, you can mask out the influence of the region map You should first enable this option by turning on the "Region Mask" on the "Guide" deformer. Now you should be able to add the "Texture Mask group" to the "Region Mask" property and start painting on it
Bought it and i really like the idea but for some reason its not working at all... no errors, just not working. When I add Guides it doesn't add it, when it does work and adds the guides after i exit the software entirely and reopen it doesn't groom the guides at all.
Hello, it is not compatible with the newest blender version 3.5 yet. Will have to update it.
@@iraklikupunia Alright thats no problem i will switch back to 3.3. thank you
@@iraklikupunia Hi did you update addon? I would like to buy it =)
This is so Beautiful and intuitive!!! 😍 But I have a question tho, can I achieve anime/cartoony stylized low-mid poly hair with this addon (like hair curves)? And also hair cards for game engines? New sub btw 😄
hi there! good work on this add on, it's cool to see that you've been able to break down the geo nodes in a way that's much more understandable for artists without an understanding of geo nodes. i've been thinking of buying it but i had some questions do the nodes require the add on to work, or can you "apply" the geo nodes onto a character, so that it can be shared with users who don't have your add on? i was also wondering. there's amazing research that was done on blenderartists (google "rig and simulate hair curves on blender 3.3") which allows you to rig and pose guide hairs. is this also possible as well in your add on, and animating the green guide hairs? thank you for your time!
In this video at 10 o'clock, the hair set at the beginning is applied well in the guide. However, I'm following the tutorial, and the hair I set at the beginning doesn't apply to the guide, and if I add a guide, I'll add a hair that's too long, not the hair I set at the beginning. Isn't there a solution?
I am not sure what exactly the problem is in your case. You have to disable "Generate" option on the Generator of the Guide Curves object first.
I've done that. But it doesn't work. I want to show you a picture, how should I show you?
@@user-fk7so6xr5h ok, If you have a Twitter or blenderartists.org you can DM me there.
@@iraklikupunia I'm sorry to bother you. Blenderartist just signed up so it's hard to send a message. Your Twitter message seems to be locked.
@@user-fk7so6xr5h it's all good no worries, I am going to check my Twitter, I am kinda new to it. What's your handle on Twitter?
nice but what you gonna do with static hair? used only for still shots?
I am not sure, what do you mean, when you are talking about static hair.
Hello! Can we make UV-mapped hair cards with it? To export to other programs/game engines?
Hello! Not yet, game hair/ hair cards are not main priority of mine at the moment. This kind of functionality is on my todo list.
@@iraklikupunia Understood! Thank you!
One more question, After I have the hair style. when I pose the head right to left. the hair does not follow the head mesh correctly. Am I missing something? thank you.
I would suggest applying the Medusa Nodes GN modifier on your hair object, unless you absolutely have to have the deformers for some reason. This should make your animation quite a bit faster. You could then create a separate geometry node group on your hair object like this: i.stack.imgur.com/DMwzd.jpg This will make sure that your hair follow the sculp geometry accordingly. There is a possible fix for this issue, that is currently in the works: github.com/ikakupa/medusa-nodes-bug-reports/issues/1
I am prepare to make that purchase I just want to learn more about the braiding system and I am sold. Best blender hair system!
sois this game ready low polly or particle hair system
This is not meant to be used for game hairs or hair cards yet.
Is it possible to select a single Guide Particle? It's difficult to try sculpting multiple guides since one move will move all overlapping guides.
Yes, I would use the Selection Paint brush for that. It is the first one in the toolbar if you are in the sculpt mode on the Guide hair object. The brush makes it is easier to isolate painted guides.
@@iraklikupunia Thats amazing! In my viewport, I do not see Guides as blue like in your video. They are red, and selected guides are like 1% darker, so its difficult to see guides through hair as well as difficult to see which guides are selected. Is it possible to change Guide color or make Guides visible through hair?
@@knackepizza2480 something is probably messed up with your Guide hair object. But yes you can still change the color by selecting the Guide object's Material and searching for the Viewport Display panel in the Properties Editor. There you will find the Color parameter.
@@iraklikupunia Wow you are AMAZING for responding so fast. This plugin is amazing. At some point could you do a tutorial on long hair or braids? I'd believe that you would know an optimal way to make those, since I'm basing long hair off your short hair video
@@knackepizza2480 haha, I am not always that quick to respond, but I try to do my best whenever I have got spare time on my hands. I will try to make a short tutorial on Braid deformer. I can't promise that it will happen quickly. Currently I am working on improvements in regard to the addon.
When is the draw part coming to MEDUSA NODES?
You can draw the guides already, you can see the video in this post: blenderartists.org/t/hair-medusa-nodes/1336677/365?u=ikakupa It is important to use some collection with curve objects to properly set the guides up.
@@iraklikupunia thank you that worked. 😀
@@masterod1 You are welcome!
WTF xgen in blender, thats insane
Instant purchase! It really feels like XGen without all the clutter and then applied to Blender's hair system, really awesome!
man i've been waiting for this since you first started teasing ur tests a year ago and it's finally here. Gotta say, it looks and feels like an improved version of Xgen. Always wished the devs would implement something like Xgen in blender but the new hair system is coming up slow and still lacks features. Hope ur addon is a gamechanger
This looks promising!
I bought the plugin, it's very nice. I'm having difficulty positioning the guides in order to give an optimal result. Is there a way to place bezier curves the traditional way and then turn them into guides for the generator?
You can make a collection with custom bezier curves inside it. Then you can just drag and drop the collection into the Generator of the Guide Curves object. In this post there is a little video where you can see that: blenderartists.org/t/hair-medusa-nodes/1336677/365
@@iraklikupunia thank you, you are very kind. I'm going to use it for a project I'm working on to make a human face in Blender. at the end of the process i will show the work on youtube and also explain the plugin used.
@@gabriele210596 You are always welcome! I am excited to see what you are going to create with the addon.
Is there plans to add a "convert to cards"? so we can take the final results to game engines?
Could be an alternative to XGEN。
