Hi Andy, Thanks for the comment. Hmm, the grid for the control curve should let you move the points, otherwise its a pointless feature, what version of Maya are you using? I didn't come across this issue back when I created this tutorial, is the grid greyed out all? Looking back through the video it may be something to do with the value's under the Mesh Scaling section of the curve warp ( 5:07 ), I get the feeling that there may be a specific setting for those values that may render adjustments to the curve un-noticeable. Unfortunately my knowledge would end there as I haven't used Maya in a few years now.

@@GGPAnimationAndy Hmm ok. Maya 2020.3. Win10

Hello, I'm glad you liked the video. I've had to put this channel on hiatus for a bit, as I've been very busy with life stuff. At some point I do plan to come back and start making blender tutorials, as I've moved away from Maya.

Hi nathaly, thanks for the comment. Sorry to hear you're have trouble adjusting the scale curve, unfortunately this is not something I have come across so I'm not 100% on a fix for this, it has been some time since I last used Maya. I have suggested to another user (who has the same problem) that adjusting the values in the Mesh Scaling options of the curve warp (as seen at 5:07) may yield some results, as a certain combination of these values may result in the scale curve not adjusting the mesh properly, however that is just a theory and I can't test it myself. As for Curly toon style hair that you mentioned in your other comment, you could try creating a curve that spirals around and then curve warp to that, basically the mesh will conform to the length of the curve no matter the curve's shape, I hope this gives you some insight into the potential process for creating curly style hair strands/clumps.

I have the same problem.did you get it? please if you got it explain me

@@rkanimation1748 Its a little ambiguous in my mind but i just pressed keyboard “3” to make subdivision mode OR just followed this video unsubdivisioned (cause i couldnt find the mode). After doing all the things without it, I just pressed 3. The outcome was pretty similar with this vid. So I dont think finding subD mode is that important.. Good luck man

@@cheesecamp4813 Hi, apologies for the VERY late reply, in this video I'm using the 3 button to proxy smooth, if you wish to smooth out the mesh afterwards you will need to delete the history and subdivide the mesh.

@@GGPAnimationAndy thanks for the reply. I didnt reconized the importance of deleting history back than. But i do now! Thanks again.

This character model was a placeholder that I put together using the Mixamo Fuse Character Creator program(which can be downloaded on Steam). The materials and textures in that software were designed specifically for Fuse using Substance and can be exported with your character as texture maps. The shader in Maya is a surface shader with the exported diffuse texture from Fuse as its colour, multiplied with a 2-tone toon shader ramp, and the result connected to the colour of another surface shader, to do this you need to use the hypershade window. Hope this helps, and thank you for the comment :D

Hi! Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you found the video useful. I apologize that you found my tone discouraging, I was in and out of hospital around the time I made this video, plus I never really expected it to get the amount of exposure that it did beyond my immediate university colleagues and friends.

You're welcome, glad it was useful. To get rid of the lattices you can do Edit -> Delete by type -> History, on the selected hair strands, this will clear the link between the mesh and the lattice (This might also delete the lattice, if it doesn't then you can delete these afterwards), be careful though as this will also un-link the hair strand from the curve as well, so only do this once you are 100% satisfied with the positioning of the strands.

@@GGPAnimationAndy ah i see, I think I missed that part in 0:31. Thanks

At the time when I made the tutorial I hadn't found a good way of making this a quicker process. I had tried duplicating the curve and mesh but that resulted in some very strange and broken curve-warp behavior, so I didn't include it in the video, that problem may have been fixed in Maya 2019/2020, so if you have either of those version you could try that.

Thanks for the comment, I'm glad this tutorial helped you. I suppose you probably could, but at the time when I was prototyping this, duplicating the curve and mesh was very buggy, and never guaranteed to work, the hair strand would disappear or behave in an erratic manner. That may be something that has been fixed since then (I was using Maya 2018 in this video and it could have been fixed in 2019/2020), so you could give it a shot, if it is still buggy you could delete the history once you are happy with the shape, then duplicate the curve and create a new mesh.

@@GGPAnimationAndy I tried duplicate the curve and mesh but alas the curve is no longer attached to the mesh. unu I've tried deleting history and other thing but I just don;t think it works. I'm probably just going to make many strands because I want the easy move-ability that the curve gives to the strand.

Hey Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial and found it useful.

Hi Eduardo. Thank you for the comment. Recently I've been considering doing a full process start to finish as this tutorial only shows creation of one strand. It's looking more likely that I will make it now that both you and a few others have requested it. If you've subscribed you'll see it when it goes live. Cheers. Andrew.
