Hi I have several years experience with XGen in Maya, however I am moving to another program due to the bugs maya has. I am trying this for the first time and not finding many tutorials. I just want to take my mesh, and manually add guides and sculpt similarly like xgen. Having trouble finding a method to simply place guides one at a time and sculpt them.

Also wondering if i have to use a scalp mesh extraction vs just using a density map on the head model, which i have already as a texture.

I see I can create splines and convert to guides, but splines have to be manipulated with vertex unlike guides which can be easily pushed with sculpt tool . Looking forward to responses thanks. Rendering with redshift.
