Warp Roots Operator
Warp Roots is a specialized operator that provides precise control over hair, fur, and feather root distribution. This operator allows you to interactively bunch together or spread apart root positions using an intuitive painting interface, which is particularly useful when modeling feathers or sparse fur patterns.
Parameters
A set of artist-friendly parameters allow quick control over hair distribution with minimal setup. These parameters can be manipulated using texture maps, Strand Groups, Guide Channels and Color Sets. See the corresponding page for more information.
- Density
The primary control for warping root positions. Paint lighter values to bunch roots together and darker values to spread them apart. - Strength
Controls the intensity of the warping effect. Increase for more pronounced distribution changes. - Iterations
Number of Jacobi iterations - Resolution
Grid resolution
Workflow
1. Add the Warp Roots operator to the top of your Ornatrix stack
2. Click "Create Map" to generate a new density map
3. Set appropriate "Start Color" and "Size" values
4. Paint on your model to control root distribution
5. Adjust the "Strength" parameter as needed
6. Return to map painting at any time by clicking the map button
