Yet another reminder for all the non-black comic book artists out there. The same around of research and reference pulling y’all do for everything else in your work, do the same amount of research for black people. Especially our hair. There’s literally no excuse.

A look at the highpoly as well- its been really fun to dabble back in character art again, especially on a project that's been on my inspo board for years

Thankyou for everyone's help on this! Turned out it was having nanite support checked on in the mesh- I think I'm going to turn it off entirely for any hair lookdev projects going forwards 😂

Can any unreal wizards help me understand why I'm getting these hard edges on my haircards in ue6? The mesh itself is smooth etc. I've seen others with the same issue but haven't found a solution

Almost done- realised right at the end of recording I didn’t increase the resolution of the saved videos from obs 🙃 it shouldn’t make a huge difference overall but just not as crisp as I would usually like

Been working here and there on a full XGen groom since I don't have many in my personal folio. Almost there just needs a proper breakup and detail pass (and also a better render scene)

If you bought my tutorial I've just uploaded some additional optimised meshes and some elaboration on the optimisation part of the tutorial so be sure to go back and download that!
I'm happy to present my second realtime hair tutorial!
It's been a while now since my first one and I've got some new information to share that will help you elevate your realtime hair.
