Hi everyone, hope you are having a manageable day.
So, I'm poking around in Xgen because I want to learn something new and also curious how this would fit into a character workflow. In the past I've used hair cards, which was a great experience and I learned a lot from that. But in my pursuit to recreate cool hairstyles, I thought I'd give Xgen a try and just see what happens.
After poking about a bit and watching tutorials, I wanted to try the workflow of extracting curves from geometry to then convert into guides. I did just that, but for some reason when I then convert those curves to guides, the roots were in the wrong place.
What the heck was going on? I couldn't find the answer online, so I turned to some community groups. Someone suggested to check which way the curves were pointing. Such a simple thing to overlook. After a quick test, that was the problem!
So, to fix it, I just reversed the direction and voila! Fixed.
Now time to get styling!
