Creating a Hairstyle with Yeti Maya & Zbrush

- How to create a hairstyle using the Yeti plugin for Maya & Zbrush FiberMesh.
In the first part of the tutorial, I cover how to use Maya Curves with Yeti.
The second part covers how to use FiberMesh and create custom brushes in Zbrush that works well with FiberMesh (IMHO).
There is a 2 minute clip recorded with Zbrush Forward History where you can see all the creation of the hairstyle (hopefully less boring than seeing me doing it in real time for an hour).
Then we export FiberMesh as curves to Maya.
And in the third part I put it all together.
Thank you!

Yeti tutorials are so hard to find, this is a gem! Looking forward for more of these!
Thanks !
I can't find a better Yeti tutorial than you do。
Wow this is great! Love the ZBrush FiberMesh explanation. Thanks so much for creating and sharing this.
Thank you :-)
Great tutorial
Do more Yeti please. Thank you.
Incredible. Thanks for the tutorial. Are you going to do a video explaining the final render as well? I'm curious to how you get the most out of your work by presenting it as you did.
If you can find more time for making yeti tutorials it will much appreciated! Thank you!
Thank you for this, this looks like a very effective and fun workflow. I could have used more detail on the end of the tutorial but I will try and figure it out. Great work!
Thank you. Yes I see what you mean, I was afraid of being already to long with this tutorial. I didn't want to overwhelm you guys with specific values that were just relevant for this character.
You're amazing! Thank you so much for all your videos!
Thanks
Just BIG THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AT LEAST!))) A great Yeti tutorial)) THANK YOU!) i would really appreciate if you make more tutorials, including yet feather)
wow. great tutorial!
Thanks a lot!
Thank You
Thank you for good information.
Thank you！it‘s helpful to me！
Awesome result man, and great tut. Any chance you planning on making a tut on how to get this hair into a game ready state like rendering it to hair cards etc?
Nice tutorial series! Would be great to see a tutorial explaining the process of creating a character covered by snow, mud, dead leaves, and animated with wind (I guess it's done with motion node in yeti graph)
oh crap! Use Houdini my friend ;-)
@@filmanim5276 Thanks! Already using it, but I'm still very new to it. When I asked about snow with yeti I imagined something like this: peregrinelabs.com/2017/01/platige-image-chose-yeti-to-create-cg-bisons/
@@Bugulab Yes I'm aware of this, and it works with the instance node and some expressions. It's a very good idea for a next tutorial
@@filmanim5276 The tutorial definetely would be useful! Looking forward for it. By the way, where in Yeti I can change fur resolution? Resampling groom strands doesn't make effect. My hair looks very crapy. Using 3.0.0.
@@Bugulab I'm still using 2.2.4 but you're maybe looking for Segment Count in the Grow node, in the Geometry tab.
This is one of the best fibermesh control tuts I've seen. Thank you for sharing your process! Your fibermesh sculpt already looks great, even before exporting the guides. A very quick question- During your fibermesh sculpting sped up portion of the video, at some point you drastically reduce the length of the hair (around sideburns for example). How do you do this? Is this the smooth brush with preserve length turned off? Subed and liked :)
Thank you! I used the move brush with preserve length turned off like I did here 18:50 and yes probably the smooth brush as well.
Thank you for taking the time to answer. Again, great content and great sculpting skill. Fibermesh itself has great potential, people often get frustrated and give up/under estimate it. But it can give amazing results by itself if you are not going for a game model and have no restriction on geometry. It renders amazingly close to hair.
Oh this is Ancient One :)
tnx for great tutorial,i can see u in your viewport its showing relection highlights on hair also but i cant see it in mine,how its possible to see hair like this in viewport,i have yeti 4.1
Thank you very mush for such nice tutorial.
Can you tell me how to export density map from Zbrush? I couldn't find it on the internet. Probably i'm just using wrong keywords for a search?
Your tutorial is great! Thank you for the super detailed explanation. Just a further questions since I am very new in Maya: there is a way to export the hairs generated with Yeti to render in another render engine (I use Octane render in C4D)? This would be a dream coming true.
Thank you,
Hey man, I don't suppose you could break down how to do the attribute nodes within your node tree??
thank you .
Special thanks to this beautiful and highly professional tutor.
Re-use this model of hair training for Marbles and Maya.
Thank you Master dear.
Please also include your own website address.
Thank you! My website is in the about section of this channel ;-)
Thanks for tutorial! Tell me please how i can export Yeti Hair as OBJ/FBX?
Can you show how to make feather for the bird? Thank you. yes, Do more Yeti please.
Thank you for this amaizing tut! how do u "stick" the guides to the geo?
Hi there! I have a quick question. Is there a way to map the root position of the fibers to the base geo to use as a bump map for a more accurate skin pore look? Thanks for these tutorials.
Hi! This is a very good question and a great idea too, but I don't know how to do that :-/
If you find out, please let me know.
Hey, I was thinking about your question and I noticed that there is a way to create this root position in the attribute node (Surf_P). This might be the beginning of something. I still don't know how to use this attribute to generate bump maps
indeed surf_P is the attribute to use! However getting those world position values back into UV space and somehow be able to scatter white points proved to be almost impossible. What I ended up doing was scatter tiny spheres at the root of every fiber and then transfer the diffuse map of the spheres to the geo. This didn’t give me a “usable” map out of the box though. Maybe converting fibers to curves, curves to groom and then “export attribute to texture” from yeti groom would work? I’ll have to test that. Thanks so much🙏
This tutorial is extremely helpful to a total beginner, I really learned a lot, so thank you for taking the time!
However, I am having trouble with the Yeti hairs not attracting to the guide curve in the same fashion as yours. For example, when in the curve Yeti attributes, I need to make the Inner Radius and Outer Radius very small values (like 0.2, and 0.3) for the hairs to clump to the guide with Tip Attraction. Could this be an issue with world scale or model scale? In other Yeti attributes I must use very small or very large values as well (for example, I must set density multiplier to 50+). Any thoughts? Thank you :)
Thank you! Hard to tell, but yes it's maybe related to the scale of you mesh.
can you make a tutorial how to export it good to another software like blender or cc3 ? my problem is, in zBrush it looks awesome, but in export it looks horror. the strands normal orientation is mixed up and lose texture and create gaps. how to orient the fibermesh on face direction so i can export it without any lose ? thanks sir ! priciate
Can we follow you on other platforms as artstation or even instagram i don't know? Your work is so amazing :)
Thank you. I don't have instagram or artstation account yet. But I added a link to my website.
Ah génial merci beaucoup!! Tout le long de vos vidéos je me demandais si n'il y avait pas un petit accent français caché derrière tout ça haha mais avec votre site il n'y a plus de doutes! Super travaux :)
Hihihi, merci!
I love this channel.. but.... when more tutorials?
Yes I need more time. I'm doing those
tutorials in-between jobs :-)
great video! Can you tell me where to get that matcap that you are using in Zbrush on the head please :)
Hi! Do you have a video of just the zbrush hair sculpting?
No, it's just what it is in this video
hi,
how are you rendering hair with vray, how you applying material to pgYetiMaya node? when I hit render I don't see any hair in vray Please help thanks for making this great and rate yeti tutorial. There is such a big gap in market for YEti tutorial if you continue making these tutorial you really do well on this :)
Thanks! You can apply materials like you would with any geometry really. Just select this node and from the Hypershade hover your mouse over the shader, right click and “assign material to viewport selection”. Unfortunately I don't have a Vray licence right now to help you further. Good luck!
please, news tutorials the hair
When I try to connect the guides node to the grow node it doesn’t do anything. Ps. I have set the guide nodes to guides if you’re asking :) more power to your channel cheers!
How do you shorten hair? If I use smooth it makes them all thick and weird..
How to change yeti atributes in 5000 guides? I cant find on atribute spreadsheet. Thanks
How to download this
Yeti for Maya
Please help
If I already made a hair groom in 3ds max with Ornatrix, can I export the groom as an alembic cache then import the curves into Yeti as hairs? In other words, can curves be imported as hairs?
how download install yeti plugin pls link
Is it possible to use the firemesh to make the character's hair for games?
How are you sectioning off peices of the fibermesh in zbrush?
Hello mate.. Realy good tutos. thx very much.. One quetsion. how can i have an animated char with this kind of hair, curves based?? i know how to simulate a groom based one. but i cant made this work.. Thx again!
Gonzalo Canepa, yes you can. I will do a tutorial on this topic
Thx for reply! i will wait for it.. and if you can make a feather tutorial that will be awesome!!! thx again!
Really good but rushed the end part, could you elaborate?
Yeah, sorry, I know. Next time I will be more mindful about that.
왕따봉!
hey, thanks for the tut! I am using maya 2018. The thing is, when i connect my importe node (with guides) to the guide node in yeti graph editor, my bounding box does not appear around my guiding curve, neither do fibers. I have been following your instructions to the letter, but was unable to pinpoint the problem. Do you know why this issue might arise?
Hi, no I have no idea why you get this
kind of issue. Try on a very simple scene to see if you get the same
problem. Hopefully you'll find a solution
Hi Yulia, did you find out what was the problem? I've been trying for a while now but I'm still stuck in this same situation
hi.. when I move face mesh, the GROOM guides not following along with that. but its influence will be there.. how could implement in final scene..
Don't forget to "Create Texture Reference Object". It should work, but you won't get any simulation unless you make those curves dynamic with nHair system. But that's a whole different story and beyond the scope of this tutorial.
Thanks for reply... and Waiting for more Yeti tutorials.. Could u pls make a tutorial for how to add this simulation(or Cache) into a final animation Scene file..
I have problems that aronld can't render Yeti, please tell me your version of Yeti and aronld.Thanks
The latest versions
thanks you
Hey man, thank you so much for this video, I was wondering if you could help me solving something its happening in my scene using the same method you're using, everything seems to be working properly, and by the time I activate the clumping node after the guide and the convert node all the hair goes crazy and it not attracts how it suppose to be. Has this ever happened to you? I would like to show you an image of the problem.
Hi,
Strange, I have no idea of what can go wrong. And no it never happened to me so far.
Thanks for your reply! is there any way I can show you an screenshot of whats going on inside my tree node? Thank you buddy, and have a great day!
Sure, post a link where I can see a
screenshot
I'm not sure but it seems like some of
your guides are floating above your mesh, and that might be a
problem. So you could make your mesh live, then select all of your
curves and in the select menu, use “First CV”, then you can use
the scale tool slightly to slide those Cvs on the surface.
GENIUS! sounds good, I'll try this and let you know if it works! Thank you so much man! I hope it works as the result in the viewport looks amazing!
Hello. What are you using for the skin shader? Ai skin or standard surface?
ai Standard Surface
Film Anim thanks
hai.. how to apply 'Root Color' and 'Tip Color' in vRay Mtl for Yeti.. ?
I'm not using Vray with Yeti, but I
think you have a VrayHairSampler that you can connect to a ramp.
+Film Anim OK.. I'll check.. thank uuu
I lowkey see Tilda Swinton as the 3d model lol
Finalt a decent Hair tutorial and that’s not so long
excuse me!
Tell me please what is better - xgen or Yeti?
You can get great results with both. I just love the procedural workflow of Yeti.
Either do i. Both are good. yeti has a good flow.
this female model was a 3D scan right?
Hi ismy alak! no this is a head that I sculpted in Zbrush. The skin texture were done with the xyz textures.
it was cool until you skipped at the end.
