| Hi Yoshi, In Ground Strands modifier, make sure that the roots are attached to the scalp mesh. Jeordanis Figuereo (Product Designer. EPHERE Inc.) |
| Herllo Jeordanis, Im sorry but how exactly do you mean by attaching the roots? beside adding Ground Strands modifier? Yoshi |
| Here you can find some videos explaining how it works. The two latest videos are more updated and they explain the issue that you are having. Basically you have to select a distribution/base mesh and click Attach Roots. Jeordanis Figuereo (Product Designer. EPHERE Inc.) |
| Thank you. I was able to produce hair after restting transforms per tutorial. Is there anyway to make hair folloow the splines more closely? Hair seems to spred out quite a bit. Please see attached. I would like hair to come to a point at right.

| That is hair interpolation in action, is working as expected in this case. To allow the hair to interpolate as you expect you have togive it more data. In THIS video Michael explains exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Jeordanis Figuereo (Product Designer. EPHERE Inc.) |
| Thank you. It's exactly what I need. Yoshi |
| Just curious, is it possible to convert hair that was created from spline to regular hair that are made not using any spline guide? So you can edit guide with comb? Yoshi |
| Hair generated from splines is not different from other generation methods. You just need to add Edit Guides to the stack if you want to comb it using the brushes. Jeordanis Figuereo (Product Designer. EPHERE Inc.) |
| It worked. Thank you for your help! Yoshi |
