Ornatrix Maya: Anybody know how to convert mesh into guides and then into hair for simulation/animation?

Hi there, Does anybody know how to convert hair mesh made via the MeshFromStrands operator into hair, especially braids, like from these short videos? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HTBx-ydLkk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx0uAsw6hg8 I've tried adding a HairFromMeshStrips operation on top of MeshFromStrands (as seen in my on sim, here https://imgur.com/b2kjjGj) but for some reason nothing seems to happen when trying to add the operator. Apologies for the noob question, there doesn't seem to be any help regarding this specific task Thanks in advance! :)

jnw0o	Also wanted to clarify, I'd like to end up with hair simulations similar to the YouTube videos posted above, but I'm not too sure about the steps to take to do that exactly :)

Jeordanis Figuereo	You can convert mesh strips to hair using the Hair from Mesh Strips node. Demo included in the documentation, here and here. Jeordanis Figuereo (Product Designer. EPHERE Inc.) LinkedIn Discord
