USING BLENDER BUT I'M STUPID ABOUT IT




Creating Hair with Curves

Click to expand the images and steps

step1
1) Create a Circle Curve and a Path Curve with [Shift+A > Curve]. Align them side by side.

step2
2) Select the Path Curve and go to [Data>Geometry>Bevel]. Set the Circle Curve as the target object.

step3
3) Move the vertices of the Circle Curve to change the shape of the Path Curve.

step4
4) Use ALT+S to scale the vertices on the Path Curve to bring the ends to points. Use CTRL+T to tilt the angle of each section. Use a mixture of move, rotate, scale and tilt to groom the chunk of hair into a desired shape.

step5
5) You can use subdivide to add more vertices to the Circle Curve or Path Curve for more control over the shape.

step6
6) You can duplicate a couple vertices on the Circle Curve to add extra hair strands, this is an easy way to get more variety/detail in the hairstyle.

step7
7) For coiled hair, create a Spiral Curve in step 1 instead of a path curve [Shift+A>Curve Spirals> Archmedian or Spheric].

Create a few different chunks of hair, then duplicate them (Shift+D) and style them over the head to create the full hairstyle :D



Mesh Outline With Solidify Modifier

Click to expand the images and steps

step1
1) Select your mesh and add your base material. Then, add a second material with a darker colour, ensuring "Backface Culling" is enabled under Settings in the Material Properties tab.

2) Add a Solidify modifier to the mesh. Enable "Flip" in the Normals section of the modifier properties.

3) Change "Material Offset" value to 1 (or whichever material slot the outline was assigned to).

4) Change "Offset" value to 1.

step6
5) Change the "Thickness" value to the desired width.



Shortcuts I Keep Forgetting

CTRL+J = Merge objects
Shift+E = Edge sharpness (with poly/face selected)
CTRL+R = Loop Cut
CTRL+B = Bevel
F = Bridge / Merge Faces
P = Separate
O = Proportional Editing (need to press G/R/S first to adjust the radius)
Shift+D = Duplicate

Alt+Doubleclick = Select edge loop
Shift+A = Add Menu
Shift+S = 3D Cursor Menu
ALT+E = Extrude Menu
CTRL+A = Apply transforms

H / ALT+H = Hide / Unhide Selection
/ = Isolate object
