I hope Ornatrix can improve the Hair Parting feature.

I have been using ORNATRIX for three years, and I feel that the Parting Groups Maps can only recognize black and white colors, unlike XGEN which can recognize more colors. Additionally, the hair parting does not appear at the black and white boundary. The Partings Channel can also only recognize black and white channels, with the hair parting occurring at the black and white guide lines. The Partings Editing tool in MAYA does not work properly either, as it cannot create partings at specified planes. These features in ORNATRIX are really not very practical.

 

I really wish that the Hair Parting in Ornatrix could be controlled like Xgen region maps, as it is easy to operate and offers strong controllability. In Ornatrix, achieving hair without interpolation at specific locations requires many guide lines with AUTO Part. If you use STRAND GROUPS AS PARTS, the hair strands are essentially isolated islands. If these islands are quadrilateral, none of the four edges will be interpolated. For example, in a practical scenario where one edge out of the four should not be interpolated while the remaining three should, this is challenging to achieve in Ornatrix. However, in Xgen region maps, each color represents an isolated island, and a black map can specify which of the other three edges should not be interpolated and can also control the interpolation strength. This situation cannot be achieved in Ornatrix.
