[UE4] Hair Tutorial using Fibermesh and 3DS Max
Does the world need another real-time hair tutorial? Maby, I don't know, I built this one a while back and thought it would be time wasted if I don't share it at all.

Re: [UE4] Hair Tutorial using Fibermesh and 3DS Max
Yeah epic works in mysterious ways. I've completed the next project using this workflow, this time i gave all the hairs a random brightness.
