pbd Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 H-experts, is there anything new in Houdini 14 (or any external plug-in/asset) for hair/long-fur dynamics or the only choice is the wire solver? We currently use Maya Hair in Maya for both styling & dynamics of long hair, but I'd really like to offset everything into Houdini. If there is absolutely nothing available for the community, do you use anything in-house to resolve long hair dynamics quickly? If so, can you point out some relative bibliography?

Netvudu Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I haven´t tested it thoroughly, but what about the new PBD, Grain sheet tool? It might produce artistically interesting results with very affordable sim times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in time it will get faster, but the initial release of it, it is pretty slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandrake0 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 have you seen the Fabio hair System? https://www.sidefx.c...highlight=fabio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbd Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 About the fabio system: no I did not know about it, but it does not look like it has its own fast dynamic solver so we are back at square one. With H14 I think the problem of styling is solved, the only problem is fast dynamics, and when I say fast I compare them with nHair dynamics.
