🧵 modeling hair
Anonymous at Wed, 5 Feb 2025 19:10:11 UTC No. 1006909
do i have to take cosmetology classes or something? because no matter what technique or workflow i try, nothing seems to "click" for me. curves, particle/hair curves, even vertex modeling. nothing.

This is actually very difficult and there is no magic formula for it. I recommend that you continue using polygon modeling and also extract models from games with characters whose hair you like to learn by imitating. I do this and have improved my technique a lot. I recommend extracting models from the game THE iDOLM@STER Starlit Season, the girls have various hairstyles and meshes and are very simple to analyze.

>also extract models from games with characters whose hair you like to learn by imitating
this is how ive recently started to learn but by looking at other open source models made by artists online. ive tried splitting up a UV sphere to block out the hair sections or at least the general flow

To extract models from the unreal engine, use the UE Viewer: https://www.gildor.org/en/projects/
Download the game, install it, and then use this program by selecting where the game was installed. Then just look for where the models are and export as gltf2.
You will need the AES key to extract the models, and you can find the game key in this topic: https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.p
Set the unreal engine version the game was made in if any error occurs when loading.
I used this method to extract the models from Starlight Season.
