Anyway i have followed the instructions for binding the hair to Mannequin, but im not sure is it me or someone is trying to make me a fool or what?
as i already said all the plugins for this tutorial are loaded, and still no bind options for groom?
unfortunately no my friend, i came up with another solution that works… so much of a epic support
hello?can you tell me how to make groom work?
sure, in general you can forget the process they explained in the tutorial/help/video,
-
when you import your hair abc, make sure its in a proper scale, oriented and position related to your model (best to do these tweaks in import dialog)
-
select your rigged model (character), and add a Groom component
-
drag/drop into Groom Asset your hair
-
select your hair in Content Browser, rmb and choose Create Bindings, and find in Target Skeletal Mesh your rigged model (character)
-
go back and select in the World Outliner your character model, again, and in the Groom component add into Binding Asset the hair Binding you created in the step 4.
-
That should be it
let me know did you manage to make it work, in case i was confusing with the steps i explained.
cheers
p.s epic could solve the text formatting!

I had this problem when exporting Alembic from Blender. The problem is fixed when I export at scale of 100.
were you able to figure it out? I’ve been having the same issue
same
I did everything you posted, and When I add the Binding Asset, the Groom disappears , What could be the problem ?
That works, Thank you so much for this clear and helpful instruction!
Hi there! I’ve been experiencing the same issue when exporting groom from Blender to UE. Unfortunately, I can’t tell for sure what exactly the problem is, BUT, it has to do something with these options, because when I’m turning them off on export - binding is created with no problem.
