Best practices for long hair cards?

Ottomotto · Apr 2020

I'm doing a character, and I'm going to start the hair soon, the concept I'm using has really long hair, below the shoulders, which im pretty sure is really impractical in realtime.

What are some thing to look out for and not do when figuring out a haircut? I'm gussing abov the shoulders? Do you rig hair at all, Or are there easy hair physics solutions? I'm using ue4, and I've seen some stuff on using the cloth physics for hair, is that viable? Is stuff like aloys hair in Horizon zero dawn achievable without lots of technical work? achievable

Loads of plugins and info on yt. Making hair is a bit fiddly. Some of the plugs: xgen, ornatrix, hair tool. Im using Hair Tool for Blender atm and its really very good. I'm also going to have to put it in UE4. There are loads of vids on that.
