Maya xGen clumping modifier troubles

VladT

Hello,

The hair on my model doesn't behave at is should after applying a clumping modifier based on guides.

I have a region mask to split the left and right sides of the head, but some hairs clump on both sides of the hair at once, and then clip through the head to meet at the middle.

You can see in the image that the color of a clump can be seen on both sides of the head.

Do you have any idea how to fix this? xGen is pretty confusing and I'm a bit lost on this one.

Thanks in advance!

this would usually be solved using region maps

Hello, I already painted a region map, split down the middle, between the two halves of the head. This keeps happening in spite of the region map.

did you use a super hard brush or is there the possibility of one region slightly bleeding into another? its been a while since i used xgen. but i think this was one of the common issues
