Create Parts
Parts are a feature of Hair from Guides operator which allows separating different areas of a hair groom by preventing hair interpolation between guides. There are different ways that parts can be specified. For example, they can be automatically generated based on the difference in guide shapes or strand groups can be used to define them.
It is also possible to manually specify parts by creating a plane strip on top of the distribution surface. The hair will not be interpolated across these parting strips. This tools allows creating parting strips. Once created, they can be modified inside the Hair from Guides operator.
