Is it possible to create a hair like attached image? (Dennis in movie Hotel Transilvania2)

If yes please would you please show me tutorial?

Hi,

You can try using the Curl modifier after creating the hair volume. HERE you can find a tutorial about the Curl modifier in Maya, it's the exact same technique in 3ds Max. I would create some big curls using the Helix mode in the Curl modifier, then use Edit Guides on top to fix any guide intersections and add some more volume.

You can also draw a single guide copying the shape of the hair from Dennis, then copy the same guide all over the scalp by selecting it and using the Plant Guides tool. Then use another Edit Guides to refine and add more volume to the hair. There are several ways if we think about it.

Do you think we can create a hair with pattern like attached image by using curl modifier? I don't think so. because curl modifier cannot create a complete helix form. I really want to leave the spline as guide for the last available option.

Humm... You are right, the Curl modifier is designed to create Helix and sinusoids:

So I think it would be great to add it in the new features.

Is a good idea, We will conside it. Thank you!
