Hello,

I have hair from Daz3d, I imported as alembic in Maya (they are animated) and I want to add collision and the physics.

Can I do that with Ornatrix?

 

 

Hello,

To add Ornatrix dinamics to the hair you have to convert it to Ornatrix hair. If you imported the hair as alembic curves, load the hair as Ornatrix Alembic from the File>Import menu, make sure to choose Ornatrix alembic as file import type. This will import the hair as an Ornatrix hair object. Then you can add the Moov operator to simulate the hair.

If you imported the hair as alembic mesh, use Hair from Mesh Strips to convert it to Ornatrix hair: https://ephere.com/plugins/autodesk/maya/ornatrix/docs/3/Hair_from_Mesh_Strips.html
