Creating other models and
effects with hair
Any
NURBS curve can be made into a dynamic hair, such as a curve deformer or
input curves to a lofted surface. In addition to creating long hair
and hairstyles you can use hair curves to create:
- ropes and chains (dynamic curves)
- a fish (wire deformer)
- a fishing line (single hair with expressions)
- a tied-back beaded curtain (hairs with
a constraint)
- an octopus (select Hair curves and create
a lofted surface)
- a suspension bridge
- a wire deformer on particles
