Xgen interactive groom not following guides?

blaabjergb — Tue, 09 Jan 2018 22:11:01 GMT

Hi guys,

So I have this groom done with the interactive groom tools, but I actually need to animate it, and when I add the linear curve deformer I can't get all the hairs to animate.

Why is that, am I missing an area of influence somewhere?

Hi @blaabjergb

It looks like you only have influences on the sides of the hair and not across all of it.

That said, does this happen with other deformers or only the curve?

Let me know if anything changes!

Hi,

It does not happen with the guide modifier, but using that modifier changes the groom when I create the input guides.

It seems that the gudes are automatically created based on the interactive groom, how can I affect "all" of the hair with custom guides?

Hmm ok.

I tried to reproduce your issue on my machine but I'm not seeing any issues.

When you get a chance, can you please zip and attach the scene file here or via dropbox/google drive or another file sharing program so I can take a look at it?
