Select a edge loop, then: F3 > Select > Select Loops > Edge Loops, (just search select edge loop in the f3 menu). This will select all loops the way you are selecting them manually!
Did he, though? He only explained enough of the pitfalls to his product to make you want to buy his product. He didn't explain anything about how his custom nodes work at all.
14:20 Just a tip that you can check the direction of the curve splines by enabling display of the curve normals (they look like centipede legs) in Edit mode. Then you can flip around the errant ones before converting to Hair Curves. (It would be nice to have a “Switch Direction” function for individual splines in Hair Curves themselves ...)
'ctrl + shift + alt left click' one of the edges will select all parallel edges, then select > select loops > edge loops or select one edge loop, then select > select loops > edge loops, checkbox "Ring" after both ways are good 👍
Hi NENGHUO. At 22:40 you asked for a better/faster way to select those edges. You can go into Edge Mode, select one of the Edge loops like you did in video & use the "Select" menu then "Select Loops" menu then can try "Edge Loops" or "Edge Rings", I'm pretty sure in your case it would be "Edge Rings". For example for a UV Sphere if I select a whole vertical edge line then go to Select>>Select Edge Loops>>Select Edge Rings it will select all the vertical Edges. The same thing can be done for the horizontal edges, select a whole horizontal edge, then use the same "Edge Rings" option. Thanks for the video. It's nice to make a shortcut for the Select Menu in your Quick Favourites, comes in handy a lot.
22:32 you could select all then deselect the horizontal rings as they are less in number and takes smaller effort then you will be left with the desired rings selected
A better quicker way to select i just learned is by using circle select by tapping "c" on your keyboard and holding shift to select. Holding Ctrl while holding shift will circle deselect. Its like painting where your selection is.
I'm not sure if it's really simpler but my preferred method for removing the center vertex of a sphere is to just delete it then select the closest edge loop and extrude it then scale it down.
When I turn the mesh into strips and convert it into curve hair the hair is very thin and when I add the children node nothing happens… I’ve done it 3 times and still can’t figure out why this is happening, I’m using your node pack I got from Patreon tho 😭
@@daenty this worked for me. I tried the tutorial from scratch at least 6 times so thank you so much. In the render settings it's under curves, viewport display for anyone else wondering.
your hair node looks so good but also so complicated, I'm trying to get a hold of this but it seems every detail hair tutorial vid is quite hard to approach.
Hi there. I found your channel by chance, and I must say I'm beyond impressed by your work! You helped me understand Geometry Nodes and blender better than I could have figured on my own. However, I have two questions regarding your process: 1) How do you manage, during 17:52 onwards, to add strands of hair that follow along the other curves and into the same point as the other strands? I don't know of any setting / option to achieve that, although my skill with geometry nodes is very limited... 2) How do you keep the shape / resolution of the curves so clean and smooth without affecting the path they take? When I resample my curves, they seem to lose some of the shape when getting more points. Is this something you keep in mind when grooming the hair? Nontheless, this is an excellent video and example of what geometry nodes can help to achieve! Thank you for posting this!
Great video..this helped me a lot.. Would you mind making a video with the Blender 3.5 hair asset for a intermediate level hairstyle like man bun hairstyle? This will help us a lot
i just discovered your channel recently and your geo-node knowledge is insane to me as someone who has little to no experience with geo-nodes, love your work keep it up!
this is a great tutorial, i followed it and it is very good. but for some reason when i try to make longer hairstyle i can't make more point of the hair using set sample node, it still very low point, but if i "show point" it does show more points but the hair doesn't. the hair only show like it has more points when i use a switch and turn it to 1. does anyone know what's going on? or how can i fix this anyway, great nodes and tutorial
you've been in my head after watching your video some time ago, every time i go to edit mode, u in my head sayin, ok, and now we go back to edi moe, alovit lol
I made so many amazing characters using DAZ before I realized the issues with trying to 3d print them. The hair specifically is impossible to print because it is so thin. I wish there was an easier way to fix the hair for 3d print.
@@CuongPham-ev4ef I am here because this video is about hair sculpting but I was hoping for a simpler solution like wrapping the daz hair in blender and using that. So far have had issues doing so. Plus not sure if the video here on hair sculpting is also useable for 3d print or just for video/game use.
Great tutorial!! I'm super curious about a previous tutorial you made where you created a type of animation with a delicate pink cloth moving/dancing and revolving around some shiny metallic forms. Not sure if I make sense (sorry) Will you ever post an update on that? Would love to learn more about that!!
This is an absolutely talented product for the Blender hair system! Thank you for creating this gift! However, Could you make a tutorial video from nothing to hair with your product? I know this is what you try to show through this video, but it could be more detailed and less paced. It even does not need a model. Just shows us how we get started; what we need to have before we start; what we need to pay attention to while we are doing, step by step... The outliner has too much stuff that makes it hard to track which asset we are focusing on. Looking forward to getting more surprises from your future video!
thank you so much for the tut! I was wondering if some of the these nodes arent working anymore in blender 3.6? Nodes such as show points and noise arent as effective as you were showing
Hey, nice work! Can you advise me on how to make the hair of the character lian from paladins? I Will be eternally grateful, I've done It on Xgen but Arnold render goes too slow, so I should take the risky option to remake It on blender, It Will take me a lot of time??
I am on minute six and YOU DON\T EXPLAIN ANYTHING!!!! How you create this gemoetry node setup? In previous video or what??? This is imposible to use for seleducation.
thank you for the amazing tutorial! i have a question, when i convert the curves nothing happen to them. The messy mesh that appears to you does not appear to me and it does not create any mesh.. would appreciate it if u can tell me what could be the problem. Thanks!
when using this technique, if I were to convert the end result back to a mesh, would each hair be its own mesh or will the mesh just be the spheres and shapes you started with? I'm asking cause for what I'm creating I will have to convert it back to a mesh and it becomes too much for the game to render if each hair is its own mesh
Hey! Very impressive tutorial! I was wondering, if I have a model who has hair cards already. Can I use what you showed on the hair cards to get Blender hair on it?
Hey There, Nenghuo i love your artstyle and i love how you help us, by the way can someone help me? When i move my model my hair strech and look weird, its attached to the root cap but when i move it kinda distort my hair
I don't know if that's true or not but I heard that if you use the geometry no system for hair, you can't import it to other game engines like unreal, unity etc
@@RolandJVyens that's cool but could the opposite be true? What I mean is I have a lot of hair that I've done for multiple characters in The particle. Could I convert the old particle to the geometry node system?
Great tutorial, thank you for sharing this technique! I was wondering if this type of hair render fast in the animation or they require a lot of GPU power as particle system? Thank you to everybody can give me an advice on this :)
Around 5:20, I don't have the second convert to curve option at the bottom like you do, is that part of base blender or do you need to install something and if so what is it?
@NeNGHUO Hiya I literally just stumbled upon your channel and saw this hair tutorial and I was wondering with this hair system, is it possible to bake out the maps so that this hair/mesh can be applied to game engines such as Unreal engine? thanks in advance and I just subbed.
@AlexiosLair 0 секунд назад I'm struggling to attach the hair to sculpt, everytime it is spreading out the curves for some reason and it becomes chaotic. What could be the reason for this? Any other workarounds?
Hey, had the same problem for a while. After you create the hair root object apply all of the shape keys. Then you're ready to start parenting the different hair curves to the root object :)
adding hairs doenst work for me it will just give me a strait line on the surface, also i dont have any planes or mesh when i start to set the radius i just see lines can u pls help me fix that
Hey, again NICE TUTORIAL, you are the best Blender youtuber with this trick. How did you make this character with HUman generator ? you sculpted it or what ?
Does this workflow still work in blender 3.5? I can't attach the hair curves to the scalp mesh, it displaces some of them and gives me an error in the surface modifier "invalid UVs on 7 curves" (the scalp mesh has UVs) and the others curves modifier don't work as intended
Select a edge loop, then: F3 > Select > Select Loops > Edge Loops, (just search select edge loop in the f3 menu). This will select all loops the way you are selecting them manually!

Hi, I'm trying to find where in the tutorial we find out how to use this with our own .blend files- is that a different video? How do we load it?
@Ms Moon Boo that's because he didn't explain his custom nodes that he is trying to sell because if he did people would just make them themselves
he literally has the most important nodes for free tho..@@unicodePug

How do you get the same result, but instead they're hair cards with textures that would look pretty much the same?
You went above and beyond to cover this topic. Thank you
kind of brilliant actually
Really good idea to use a mesh for the buns!
When I turn the mesh into strips and convert it into curve hair the hair is very thin and when I add the children node nothing happens… I’ve done it 3 times and still can’t figure out why this is happening, I’m using your node pack I got from Patreon tho 😭
Make sure the scale of your object is 1, if not apply it
See if that works
You have to set the render settings to strips in the main menu..

You can convert a hair particle system to a Mesh, then to a Curve object, then to Hair Curves. (Just tried in Blender 3.6.)
