Check Out This Beginner Tutorial On Real-Time Hair Creation In Maya

If you're looking for a step-by-step tutorial for real-time hair creation, be sure to check out this documentation shared by Character Artist Valeria Zagami. This detailed breakdown follows the Maya to XGen to GS CurveTools pipeline, allows the use of the same workflow for making eyelashes, and includes procedural braids.

The artist describes it as a collection of tips rather than a strict tutorial, as this documentation also comes with some basics of XGen and a video demonstration of Valeria's most used GS CurveTools features, making it a really valuable source of information for beginner artists.

Valeria also announced that there will be a follow-up tutorial soon, covering the making of curly hair and adding some other helpful tips.

In the meantime, check out this beautiful braided real-time hairstyle made by Maksot Sadykov with Maya, XGen, and the GS CurveTools plug-in as well:
