Geo Maya Hair 2

Mark Dygert

Thunder Cloud Studios has a great looking tool for generating and controling hair from polgons

"GMH2 (Geo Maya Hair 2) is a more advanced version of GMH script, specialized in hair modeling & stylizing.
User can easily model complex hair styles using traditional polygon modeling method and convert to Maya Hair using GMH2 with 2 simple steps."

I personally haven't given it a test drive but it looks awesome.

This looks pretty interesting. Is there a trial for this? I can't seem to find it on their website.

I'm seeing it being used for vray and mental ray mostly, which is great for films. But I'm not seeing how they have a streamlined process for games. Are the hair cards uved? Can the cards be subdivided?

ThunderClouds

Hello Everyone !
Thank you very much for your kind words,
@Makkon: a yeah it's a pity that there isnt any use of this script for Games yet. But I am planning to somehow make it possible that to bake the hair onto the original polygon meshes 's texture ( diffuse, spec and normal channel ) . If everything goes well , I will do it in next version of GMH .

A-N-P

This is really cool! I'm not a character artist, but it looks like even I could make some great hair with this :P

@ThunderClouds
If you'll make possible to bake Maya hairs on textures, that would be just AWESOME, but even now it's AWESOME.

This looks excellent! I get so frustrated with brush/comb based hair systems. Polygons 4 life : )

This is a really neat script, I bought it and love it. Really speeds up the workflow! Looking forward for when you add baking options.

YES! This is something that would greatly increase workflow speed for creating hair cards. Do you see this as something that will be introduced as an upgrade to GMH 2, like a 2.1 or 2.5 release? Or will it be a completely new tool (new purchase)?

ThunderClouds

@Jaidek: uhm , yeah most likely it will be a major update so no purchase , I would also go around to collect people's opinions about what could be improved or added to the next major update too.

now make it for max, pleeeeeeeez

Hanska

Max version + bake options to uvs = TAKE MY MONEY!

wakkamis

Would grab this in a heartbeat if it were for studio max!

Monophobe

+1 for a max version in the hope that more demand makes it a viable consideration. Looks fantastic!

cmgillett

awesome, ill also throw in a vote for how great it would be if it were able to bake!

Minato

+1 for a Max version, Hairfarm has this capability but unfortunately it's out of my budget, thought to be fair it's a complete hair solution.

Max version + bake options to uvs = TAKE MY MONEY! < This or it never happen.
