Hi,  
I am trying to get Hairworks running in UE4. I cloned a lot of Github repositories now and nothing worked. I have no idea what I am searching for. Do I have to build a costume version of UE4? an which? and were should I download it? And if not , is there maybe a simple plugin that I can load?

I allready created an .apx file but I cant open it in UE4. Sadly I am just an artist not a coder, so the first thing I did was installing Visual Studio and simply clicking on every .bat in the downloaded “Hairworks Masterbranch” from Nvidia which didnt help at all. YT and the Nvidia-forums didn´t porvide usefull informations about the process.

Im trying this on:  
Win10-64,  
GTX1070,  
UE4.24 or what ever is necessary,  
Maya 2017 including Hairworksplugin,  
Visual Studio Community 2017 -Version 15.8.4

Can you give me a hint, what to do now? Or even a step by step guide?

Best regards Tobi
