Hair Guides

Only attributes in this section are related to guides which means they have influence on both guides and hair curves.

CVS Per Guide

Number of control vertices (points) per guide curve. This is set when creating hair system but it is possible to change the number of control points whenever needed. Note that changing this can change the looks of the hair greatly so it is good to set this parameter before setting anything else. Also note that the number of control points per guide has major influence on hair geometry complexity. Typical use is:

• 2 - leaves (no surface deformation)
• 4 - fur
• 8 - longer fur or short hair
• 16 - hair
• 30 - long hair

Guide Length

Guides' length is also set when creating hair system but can be changed here whenever needed.

B-Spline

When turned on, higher quality B-spline interpolation is used to generate hair geometry. When turned off, linear interpolation is used. This parameter together with CVS Per Guide and Curve Smoothness affects hair smoothness.
