Just as in real life, in the virtual world of DAZ Studio you can cut, shape, accessorize and shape hair. Good hair can add an unprecedented level of realism to your character renders.
It's easy though to have a "bad hair day" with your character!
Have you struggled with:-
- Using older hair on newer figures?
- Understanding the hair varieties in DAZ with the pros and cons of each?
- Flat looking hair when using Iray?
- Using Octane render for hair rendering?
- Making hair looking softer and more natural?
- dForce hair?
- Mixing hair products?
- Fibremesh hair?
In this webinar recording of a community workshop we brought together the collective minds of DAZ Studio artists to share artwork, recommended content, resources and valuable tips on hair
This includes a bonus introductory tutorial session by published artist Arki for creating complex strand based hair and hair accessories (See the separate full product "Complex Hair Creation Tutorials Bundle")
