"Add Hair to selection" does not work

Hello,

I'm new to Ornatrix in Maya2018.3.

Following the very first Tutorial I've selected some faces and pressed the "Add hair to selection button" on the top left at the Ornatrix Shelf.

But this only opens a window to choose between Feather and Fur.

What's wrong?

I looked also into that folder on my Computer at ProgramData/Epher/OrnatrixMaya/Grooms

and there are three items (Feathers, Fur Ball and Hair from Curves).

 

Thanks.

Hi Alex,

Seems to be working fine. That's how is suppose to work. When you select a mesh or faces and use "Add Hair To Selection" a window will pop up, in this window you select the feather preset or the fur preset. The fur preset creates some basic operators with default settings to help you get started, you can use it for hair too.

When you select CV curves instead of a mesh you get the same window with the "Hair From Curves preset". This preset will create a hair object based on the selected curves with some basic operators with default settings.

Find more information in our documentation HERE.

Hi Jeordanis,

thanks for quick reply!

Ok, I just didn't see that workflow in the (old) tutorial and also didn't find in the documentation anywhere mentioned, that "Fur" should be selected.

So I will go ahead...

Best,

Alex
