A script to help users to convert/edit polygon hair to Maya Hair or generating next-gen polygon hair strips easily. GMH2 is a more advanced version of GMH script, specialized in hair modeling & stylizing, developed by Phung Dinh Dzung at Thunder Cloud StudioUser can easily model complex hair styles using traditional polygon modeling method and convert to Maya Hair using GMH2 with 2 simple steps. Unlike the older version GMH, GMH2 can convert polygon to Maya hair with just 1 single click nice and clean.

Hi, I have a big problem when I animate the character, the hair doesn't follow. If I close the file and reopen it, it will display correctly. I really don't know how to do it. Could somebody help me? Thanks in advance!
Then you should ideally get rid of the rigid body collider for the bound geo and make a new one for the grouped geo. It's advisable not to have a hair system bound to a shape that it is also colliding with, it can cause popping at the base of the simulation curves.
the reason the hair was not following the mesh was that XGen could not see any transform on the mesh as it was animated in a group. Using a blend shape ensures that the animation is propagated through to XGen
The hair can still be manipulated using standard poly editing tools even after conversion, and multiple GMH hair systems can be applied to a single poly object, enabling base form, waves and frizz to be edited separately.
New features include the option to bake hair to textures on polygon planes, a material manager for applying multiple shaders to hair geometry, and the option to export hair in OBJ or FBX format as curves or poly meshes.
New options to generate hair as polygon strips, for use in gamesAs well as Maya Hair, the latest update gives users the option to covert the base geometry to sets of polygon strips, with options to control the orientation and number of segments of the strips.
I have blender and maya and they have so many plugins on top of built in hair system that I kinda get overwelmed. And I hear cinema 4d is getting ornatrix now and 3dsmax hax hairfarm. So I want to ask the daz forums what's ther'e worlflow on creating custom hair
C4D will be just as complicated if not more than Blender or Maya. If you can't create hair in either one, then you might want to start with something else instead. If you are planning on doing normal type transmapped genesis hair, the kind that was released before the dynamic 4.11 items came out, then any modeling app will do the trick, you just need to learn how to use the app to model it.
Awww Thank you! :D I adore the new strand-based hair! I find it to be a lot of fun (challenging too, but that's part of the fun for me - figuring out how to do certain things that I want with it). I hope you give it a real go - like anything new it can be a little frustrating at first until you learn what everything does. But once you get things figured out as far as what does what it becomes much easier and much more fun. :)
Blender has a few hair tool plugins free and paid for making different types of har, in Zbrush you only need create a vertically mapped insert mesh shaped like a tapering strip and you could easily create transmapped hairs or use wide vertical mapped fibermesh strips with transmaps

I don't see why you'd feel like you have to make a brand new SBH for each pose. You can shape it or comb it differently if the pose calls for it, but there's no need to have to make new hair for every pose.
I use Carrara for example because it has dynamic hair, physics, particles, animated textures, plant modeller, terrain modeller, spline modeller, metaball modeller as well as a vertex modeller, DAZ studio only is used to get stuff into Carrara for me or to render as alpha images to composite what I cannot with Hitfilm. 2ff7e9595c
