It seems Maya's Ornatrix has ability to rotate the direction of a Hair From Mesh Strip Operator such that you can control which direction the Red Arrow points, thus assigning where the root actually is on the strip. This is accomplished through use of the Mesh Strip Editing Tool with a Rotate Strips Button in the Hair From Mesh Strip Operator.
But in C4D Ornatrix plugin there is no such option. C4D's Hair From Mesh Strip Operator seems only to randomly populate the strip with an arrow based on some algorythm, without any option to next set the red arrow's direction constituent. Unfortunately, this can lead to hairs rooted backwards, or"bottom-up" making for very odd outcomes.
Would it be possible to add in a Mesh Strip Editing Tool with a Rotate Strips Button like the Maya edition has, it would be fantastic!
Great Product, thanks for your Consideration.
