0:00So, in this video, I'm going to show you
0:02how to make UGC hair in Blender. We'll
0:05start by importing the Roblox dummy. So,
0:07we have some guide for shaping the hair.
0:10So, let's go to the Roblox Studio. Just
0:13go into the this upper panel, go to
0:15avatar, go to rig builder, select R six,
0:20and select block avatar. Then you will
0:22see avatar appears in the explorer tab.
0:25Go into the rig, right click on the rig,
0:27and save and export. export selection
0:31and then you will just save it somewhere
0:32on the desktop and name it I don't know
0:35dummy. Uh then we can open the blender.
0:37When you will open the blender you will
0:39see this scene. So we're going to just
0:42delete all of it. So press press A and
0:44delete. Then we want to import the the
0:47dummy. So let's just go to the file
0:49import obj and just select the OBJ file
0:53of a dummy and select and then go to the
0:56front view. I would just use the
0:58shortcuts but you can also go here to
1:00the view. You can just select views from
1:02here. Then select our character go to go
1:05to object sect origin and select origin
1:08to geometry. And then what we want to do
1:12is basically just just snap selection to
1:15the cursor. So it's so our dummy is in
1:18in the center. I will just be make a
1:20collection and name it dummy. We're
1:23going to move this model to the dummy
1:26collection. So we can everything is more
1:29is uh much more organized. So I can just
1:32I press shift A go to mesh and select
1:35circle under this panel. Select vertices
1:38and type three. Press enter. And you
1:40will see if you go to the top view we
1:43have this triangle. I will go to edit
1:46mode. Select this vert G and Y. And I
1:50will just
1:52slightly move a bit down. So it's so our
1:56hair strand will be a little bit
1:58thinner. So with that I can go here and
2:01name it hair shape.
2:06Hair shape go under object select
2:09convert and convert it to curve. We can
2:12hide this one. So now we will make air.
2:16You will press shift A. Go to curve
2:19under the and select pet. I will rotate
2:21this pad 90° by typing R and 90. Now you
2:27select the path, go to curve properties
2:31under the GI geometry
2:34under the object and select air shape.
2:36You will see that our shape is rotated
2:39to the wrong way. So go to edit mode,
2:42press A to select all, press CtrlT, 90.
2:46We will right click on it and shade it
2:48flat. And you can see this will be our
2:51hair. I will basically tell you the main
2:53controls. You can select whatever vert
2:56you want in edit mode and press G. And
2:59you can see you will you can move it.
3:01You can move this one, this one, this
3:03one, what whatever vert you want. And we
3:06will also use CtrlT to rotate the verts
3:11to basically tilt the verts. And we will
3:14use alt s alt s to basically shrink the
3:19hair. So with that we will make a hair.
3:21I will select this vert. Press alt s and
3:24zero. shrink it to the zero. And we will
3:27select this one. This vert. And we will
3:30do the same. And I can see this too
3:32thick. I will select all. And just
3:35shrink it a little bit. And this will be
3:38our hair. So now we'll start with
3:40modeling the hair.
3:42uh we will start modeling from the back
3:44of the hat and work way to the front.
3:46And after the main shape of the hair is
3:48done, we're going to add some details.
3:51So what we want to do is unhide the
3:54dummy and basically as you can see our
3:57hair is too long and it's rotated the
4:01wrong way. So I will select this one,
4:03shrink it a little bit, move move it up
4:07and with in edit mode I will basically
4:11Ctrl T 90
4:16once more and you can see it's basically
4:19here in the back of the head. I will
4:21just use G
4:26to
4:28basically make a shape that I want.
4:36I think it's a little bit too thick.
4:40We I will add thickness with alt s on
4:42the vert and basically just shrink it a
4:44little bit. I will also add thickness
4:48here
4:49[Music]
4:53and see it's a bit a bit too thick.
5:00[Music]
5:07Now I will duplicate this hair by shift
5:11D and I will go to the edit mode and
5:14just I will just move it a little bit.
5:17So this will be our second hair. It's a
5:20little bit too thick.
5:23[Music]
5:28As you can see from the top it's a
5:30little bit too further from the this
5:32main shape from this hair strand. So I
5:36will go to side view, select these ones
5:40and just put it a little bit
5:45a little bit further.
5:58I want to mirror this hair to the other
6:01side. We will do this like that. So
6:03press A. Go to empty, select plane axis.
6:08We can hide the empty. Select this pair.
6:12Go to modifiers. Add modifier and select
6:15mirror modifier. And under the mirror
6:18object, select select the empty. And you
6:20can see we added the left side. And
6:23basically when we are going to control
6:25this part, the other half will behave
6:27like that too. So I'm just basically
6:29here aligning these edges. So basically
6:34when we're going to merge all of these
6:36it will be a much it will be much
6:38easier. So the back is I think it's
6:41okay. Now we're going to add a pet
6:45because I will do the different
6:48uh the different hair.
6:54[Music]
7:00Go to curve properties under object
7:04select hair shape shade it flat and we
7:07can see it's rotated to the wrong side.
7:09Uh we will go to edit mode press a ctrl
7:14t and press 90. We need to rotate it in
7:19our way. Press a alt s and shrink it a
7:22little bit. This for this hair, this
7:25curve will be shrink to the zero. But
7:28this one will be open like that but a
7:32little bit
7:34less
7:37cuz we want to make like this one. Let's
7:41see.
7:43Go like that.
7:50[Music]
8:01We will do the same as we did before
8:03with the mirror modifier. So just select
8:06this one. Go to modifiers and select
8:09mirror modifier. Press mirror object and
8:12select empty. And you will see there is
8:15another one. We'll select clipping.
8:32[Music]
8:45[Music]
8:55[Music]
8:57Heat. Hey, Heat.
9:00[Music]
9:06[Music]
9:18So if we if we have holes like that,
9:20don't worry because we will we will
9:23merge them together anyway. So it
9:25doesn't matter.
9:27[Music]
9:30But we can always check how is how does
9:32it look when the dummy is selected. So
9:35we will add one more hair here and then
9:38we will add uh basically the front part
9:41of the hair and then bangs. I will
9:44duplicate this one. So by selecting this
9:47and shift D I will move it just a little
9:50bit further.
9:52I will shrink it a little bit. Select
9:55this birds and tilt it a little bit.
10:00So it's open.
10:02[Music]
10:14[Music]
10:25[Music]
10:37So with that set, we're going to add
10:39pet.
10:41Rotate it 90°. Select. I would just
10:45shrink it a little bit. Go to front view
10:49and try to align
10:52that flow of this hair.
11:00So, let's just go to curve properties,
11:03go to geometry and under bevel, select
11:06object shape. Um, we need to shade it
11:10flat and rotate it. Just go select A
11:13with alt S. Shrink it a little bit.
11:18And I want this vert to scale to zero.
11:33[Music]
11:44[Music]
11:56[Music]
11:57So now I will start the banks. I will
12:00make error as we did before.
12:08For the banks, I will only shrink the
12:11bottom vert.
12:13And I will shrink it a little bit and
12:16make it.
12:19I will bring it to the front.
12:29We must align the edges.
12:39Something like that. And we will mirror
12:42this part. And now we will start with
12:44the inner part.
12:50[Music]
12:58[Music]
13:07[Music]
13:16With that we can and use proportional
13:19editing too to make it more like flowy
13:21more realistic. So for that we're going
13:24to this upper panel. Select this one and
13:27basically I will just smooth. I will
13:29just use this smooth one and select on
13:32it only. You can see I can grab it and
13:34with mouse wheel up and down I can
13:37control the influence of it.
13:40[Music]
13:53[Music]
13:55Move this part a little bit in. This one
13:57a little bit out. Make that O shape.
14:08[Music]
14:16You can make it easier and just just
14:19select this part and press shift D to
14:21duplicate it. And I can just move it out
14:24of the way. And we have another one
14:26without repeating the creating path and
14:29all of that. So, it's much much faster
14:31and much easier.
14:38[Music]
14:49[Music]
15:23[Music]
15:34[Music]
15:37So, we've just ended with the base. So,
15:40I'm going to start with some with adding
15:42some details. So after that we'll start
15:44with margin.
15:46[Music]
15:57[Music]
16:08[Music]
16:19[Music]
16:58[Music]
17:11[Music]
17:21[Music]
17:28So now we need to basically select the
17:31hair and lower resolution of the hair.
17:34So for that we're going to go curve
17:37properties and we will just in this tab
17:41where there is 12 we're going to type
17:42six and we will repeat this step with
17:46all the hairs.
17:48[Music]
18:06[Music]
18:08After we finish with lowering
18:09resolution, we can start merging the
18:12hairs. And for that, we need to we need
18:14to basically turn off the mirror
18:16modifier for all of the hairs.
18:20I I will only disable this one first and
18:22I will do the others later. I will hide
18:25the details and I will start with this
18:27one. Basically we what we want to do is
18:30just to align we need to align the edges
18:33more because they are not aligned good.
18:35I think that's good. So now we want to
18:38go to we want to select this hair go to
18:41object and select convert and converted
18:44to mesh. And we want to do this same
18:46with this hair. Now when both of these
18:49hairs are converted to mesh we want to
18:51select both of them press right click
18:54and join. Now we can go to edit mode and
18:56basically we go a clue press M and merge
18:59it at center. So we can repeat that with
19:02all of the hair.
19:06By merging all of these uh verts we will
19:09make that hair has a lot less tries and
19:13there won't be any holes in the mesh. So
19:15it will be perfect for Roblox Studio. If
19:18we have vert like that can just press
19:20CtrlR we can basically add an edge loop
19:24can just select both of these verts and
19:26merge it at center. We can do the same
19:29here and we successfully merge this
19:32hair. We want to repeat this process
19:34with all of the hair.
19:36[Music]
19:48[Music]
19:59[Music]
20:10[Music]
20:22[Music]
20:27After we merge all of this part, we can
20:29go to mirror modifier and apply it. We
20:33can basically we can also select this
20:37clipping and go to edit mode and slide
20:40all of these birds to the center.
20:46So the mesh is even cleaner. And
20:48basically this part is done. We can hide
20:52this part and this one. Now we have this
20:55part to merge. It's the same process as
20:57before. We need to hide the mirror
21:00modifier. Select this object and convert
21:03it to mesh. We do the same with this
21:06part.
21:10And so we can see I can only work on one
21:13half and the other half is doing the
21:15same. So it's much faster. For now,
21:18we're going to leave this part and we're
21:20just going to focus on this one. So for
21:22that one, we need to merge all of this
21:26part so there won't be any holes on it.
21:34[Music]
21:45[Music]
21:48Uh go to object convert it to mesh. And
21:52now I will join these parts. Right click
21:55and select join. And I can merge this by
21:59pressing M and select at the center
22:06[Music]
22:11with this vert with this edges which
22:15basically don't have any connecting any
22:17verts that I can connect. I will I can
22:20just dissolve this edge. So basically go
22:22to edge selection, hold alt, press on
22:25the edge and click ctrl and x and you
22:28can see the edge is dissolved and repeat
22:30this with all of these edges here.
22:34[Music]
22:35That's it. Now I can apply mirror
22:37modifier.
22:39Now I can focus on this part this and
22:41this. Go to object convert it to mesh
22:45and now press. We can also use the
22:48shortcut Ctrl J to join them. And now I
22:51can merge them.
23:04[Music]
23:15[Music]
23:38Same with this one. If we want to
23:40disable the mirror modifier to just
23:42focus on one part and then after we
23:44merge it, we can uh mirror it then. So
23:48it's much easier. So I would just adjust
23:51a little a little better this edges so I
23:53can it will be a lot more easier for
23:56merging. I will select this and this. I
23:59will go under object and under convert I
24:02will convert it to mesh. And I will also
24:05press Ctrl J to join them. Go to uplute
24:10and to edit mode and I will just start
24:12merging this at center by clicking M and
24:16at center. This one is a little bit
24:18trickier.
24:23I think this will this will be okay. And
24:26now we can apply mirror modifier. If we
24:29want to publish this hair on the Roblox
24:31marketplace and make some money and make
24:34some Robuxes, we need to lower our
24:37triangle count. So, it must be under
24:394,000 tries. I can show you how you can
24:42see this how much you have. So,
24:44basically, you will go up here in
24:46overlays and you will select statistic.
24:49And now you can see in the left corner
24:52we have 4,56
24:54tries. So, this is too much. We need to
24:57go, we need to lower it under the 4,000
25:00tries. So, I will show you how to do
25:02that. First of all, we will select this
25:04big part and we will go to edit mode and
25:07to edge selection. We can select it
25:09here. And as you can see, there is a lot
25:12of this edge loops. So, we can dissolve.
25:15The better edges to dissolve are the
25:18ones that are on the flat surface like
25:20like that. So, by clicking alt and
25:22selecting them, you're selecting the
25:24whole edge. Then you're going to press
25:26Ctrl and X and you will see the edges
25:29deleted. I will I will delete this edge.
25:31I will delete this edge. We also don't
25:34need this one and this one. This and
25:36this. We can go into the side view. We
25:39don't need this one.
25:44So as you can see in this in this part
25:46there is too many loops. We can dissolve
25:50many of those. So I can do this and this
25:53and this. I will do this with with other
25:56art.
26:01[Music]
26:13[Music]
26:35[Music]
26:48After we reach triangle count under four
26:514,000 tries, we can start merging all
26:55the part that we didn't convert it to
26:57mesh and basically join the whole mesh
27:01together.
27:09[Music]
27:12Um, now I can apply apply this uh mirror
27:15modifier so I can so I can basically
27:19merge the verts on the back of this hair
27:21strand. So,
27:24and apply it. Now I can convert this and
27:27convert this to mesh. Select this part
27:29and this part. Right mouse click and
27:31join. Now I can start merging the back.
27:45I will add edge loop here. So I can
27:47connect these birds and this one. Now I
27:50have repeat with this one.
27:57This part is not connected to this one.
27:59So I need to join them together. Just go
28:01to mirror modifier and apply it. Select
28:05this part and this part and right click
28:07and join. Then we can start merging.
28:09[Music]
28:17[Music]
28:24I can also apply this
28:28[Music]
28:40[Music]
28:48And basically that's it. Now I can press
28:50Ctrl A and right click and join. And we
28:53have and with that we put all parts into
28:56one mesh. So it's united into one mesh.
28:58And as you can see, it's a little bit
29:01not smoothed out. It's a little bit
29:02flat. We want to smooth this hair up. So
29:06just right click on it and shape auto
29:08smooth. And as you can see, it's much
29:10more more smooth.
29:13So now after we finished the hair, we
29:16want to check a few things. So the first
29:18thing is to make sure that that the
29:21normals are pointed the right way. So we
29:24want to make we want to check that. So
29:27we do that by going here to view port
29:29overlays and just select the face
29:31orientation. As we can see the blue part
29:34is okay. That means that normals are
29:36pointed the right way. But the red means
29:38that they're not. So basically we need
29:40to flip them. We can do that by
29:43selecting the object going to edit mode
29:46press A and then just press shift and N.
29:48And we can see it flips. But this part
29:50is missing. So we need to hover over
29:53this part and press L and then shift and
29:56N. And here we want to recalculate
29:58normals and just check inside. And here
30:01we go. This is how we check the face
30:03orientation. And now you can basically
30:05turn off this this feature. So after we
30:08flipped our normals, we want to add some
30:11textures. We do that by going to this
30:14material preview. Just click on this
30:16icon. As you can see, we don't have any
30:19textures. So we will apply that. What
30:20you want to do is go here and just
30:25slide a new window. In this step, we
30:27will open shader editor. We you will go
30:29into this icon and just you will select
30:32shader editor and this window will pop
30:35out. You will press on this principlef
30:38and press ctrlt. Now in this image
30:41texture you will open your hair texture.
30:44I will choose one of my own.
30:47Let's say this one. But as you can see,
30:50our texture is not correct. It's flip on
30:53the right. So, we want to fix that. So,
30:56go to UV editor and under this icon,
31:00select our texture. Go to this tab,
31:02select our mesh, go to edit mode, select
31:06all, and just press R and rotate it like
31:1090°. As you can see, our UV texture is
31:14fixed.
