Hi!

Id like to share an idea to improve Ornatrix tools in Maya. XGen has a very handy feature a brush that smooths guide lengths, balancing short and long hairs without changing the overall shape of the hairstyle.

Guide Length Smooth brush that evens out the length of selected guides between a minimum and maximum value, creating a more natural hair length gradient.

Goal: speed up styling, especially for mixed hair types and complex hairstyles, where current length-adjustment workflows require multiple steps.

Hi,

You mean something like smoothly interpolating the strand's lengths, right? 
I will pass this to the team. Thanks!

Yes, exactly. Thank you so much!

Attached is a video showing how this function works in XGen Core... it's a brush for smoothing guide lengths (and optionally bend, orientation)
