Modifying hair attributes
You can modify the hair as a whole by modifying the hair system attributes.
You can modify the look of individual hairs or clumps of hair by editing their
follicle attributes. In the next steps, you modify various hair system attributes
to make Marions hair look fuller and more realistic. Then you add curl to
Marions hair.
To modify the thickness of the hair all over
1 To select the hair system, drag around the hair curves and select Hair >
Convert Selection > to Hair Systems.
2 Go to the Clump and Hair Shape section in the hairSystemShape1 tab of
the Attribute Editor and adjust the following:
Hairs Per Clump to 30, which controls the number of hairs per curve
(hair clump). Increasing the number of Hairs Per Clump increases the
rendering time.
Sub Segments to 2, which adds this many points between
segments/points and helps to smooth the hair curves.
Thinning to 0.5, which controls how much the hair thins out from
root to tip.
Clump Width to 0.3, which controls the width of the hair clump from
root to tip. To further modify the hair clump width, you could adjust
the Clump Width Scale attribute, which allows you to vary the width
along the hair from root to tip.
