Overview 

To extend the power of Ornatrix inside Maya you can use it together with Paint Effects hair which comes built into Maya.
Ornatrix hair gets converted to Paint Effects hair follicles which are updated and modified in real-time as you change it with Ornatrix. You can render, animate, and style the Paint Effects hair using all of the existing Maya tools.

 

Converting guides to Maya hair 

There are two ways of converting Ornatrix hair into pfxHair in Maya.

Replace "MyHairShapeName" with the name of your Ornatrix shape object's name.
