Stage 2 - Hair Physics XY (+ Workflow VOD)

STAGE

🧭 Lesson Objective

1️⃣ Add Physics to the Hair

‍

🎯 Lesson Quests

🚩 Quest 1: Create the Physics Deformer Hierarchy for each hair piece
🚩 Quest 2: Create all the Physics Parameters (Blend Shapes)
🚩 Quest 3: Deform each Physics Deformer
🚩 Quest 4: Add Physics Groups

‍

🚩 Quest 1: Create the Physics Deformer Hierarchy for Each Hair Piece

Each hair strand or clump needs three deformers for full 3D-style physics movement:

  • [Hair Piece Name] Z
    • [Hair Piece Name] X
      • [Hair Piece Name] Y

πŸ“Œ Example:

Repeat this setup for all hair pieces:

  • Bangs
  • Side Bangs
  • Mid Hair
  • Back Hair

‍

🚩 Quest 2: Create All Physics Parameters (Blend Shapes)

You'll need to create Blend Shape parameters for each of the 3 axesβ€”X, Y, and Z.

These should follow this format:
All parameters: Min = -1, Default = 0, Max = 1

Format:

  • [Hair Category] X1, X2, X3
  • [Hair Category] Y1, Y2, Y3
  • [Hair Category] Z1, Z2

πŸ“Œ Examples for Bangs & Side Bangs:

Repeat for each hair group as needed depending on how many physics chains you're planning.

‍

🚩 Quest 3: Deform Each Physics Deformer

Every hair piece follows the same deformation logic!

πŸ” Bangs X Movement (X1, X2, X3)

Bang X1

Bang X2

Bang X3

‍
βœ… Reflect the keyform for the opposite (-1) value to mirror the motion.

πŸ” Bangs Y Movement (Y1, Y2, Y3)

On the positive value (1), move the hair towards the Outside of the model (outward)!

🟑 For center bangs, deform outward to the viewer’s left (which is the model's right side).

‍

Bangs Y1

Bang Y2

Bang Y3

‍

🚩 Quest 4: Add Physics Groups

Create a physics group for each axis (X and Y) of the hair.

✳️ Example: Bangs X Group

[Hair Category] X

Input

Pendulum Settings

Output

‍

✳️ Example: Bangs Y Group

[Hair Category] Y

Input

Output

Repeat this setup for:
