Hi there!
I have a customer that asks for a very specific mini mission: Braiding hair.
So, I would need the following:
- Three strings of hair (I can do the hair simulation)
- Any way to “grab” the end of the hair in order to braid it. And then actually make braided hair. The separate steps can be pre-animated.
Has anybody an idea on how to do this? Where do I even start? I’m also open for other ideas on how to “simulate” braiding. Doesn’t have to be hair simulation. The only other possibility I see would be to rig hair and then hand animate every step. But that sounds like a huge amount of work.
I’m still hoping to find an easy solution. It has not to be hyperrealistic. Seeing the braiding process would be great. But it can also just switch to the next step.
I’m happy about any replies and tips!
Thanks everybody!
