nHair with Ornatrix

What is the best way if I don't want to use all the automated nucleus creation of Ox and rather just have a bunch of my sim curves drive the Ox groom.  What is the best / supposed approach to do something like this?


 

> turn guide to curve

> setup and sim those curves with nHair

> export those simm'ed curves to abc

> use Animation Cache operator to bring them back in to drive the guides?

Is this the supposed workflow? 


 

Is there a way I can do this live and not have to transport the data back and forth?  (meaning, I can sim the guides and see the resulting groom move all in one go, similar to the current nCloth / nuclues based solution)

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, you can conver then guides into curves as you said, then simulate those curves using nHair and convert the curves to guides again instead of exporting them as abc.
