The NURBS path method didn’t really work out for me, and obviously neither the realistic hair nor low-poly would work for my workflow/style. While being much harder, I tried various attempts at just modelling the hair as a mesh, it looks closer to what I want, but still pretty cumbersome to do, and still not perfect.
I’m currently wondering if there’s some stuff I haven’t found (maybe some plugin I don’t know of?).
I can‘t recommend Superhive anymore (seriously, what a silly rebrand too) after they announced plans to not allow you access to updates on addons, materials, tutorials, etc. a year after you bought them. Meaning everything you bought there will soon be outdated. I am not even sure that is legal in the EU. If a creator has been updating their addon for years then consumers will expect further updates, no?
Anyway I‘ll be buying my addons on Gumroad from now on.
Oh dang. Totally missed the news as I don’t follow community side of blender very closely compare to developer side.
Usually run blender very lean, no addons unless absolutely necessary, almost exclusively from official extension platform. So, near zero reasons for me to ever visit marketplace.
As far as I know they ONLY communicated these changes with creators but not even with customers. That’s the really disgusting part. Creators then alarmed customers about it. The original plan for this was to take effect starting May but there was a huge backlash so I don‘t know for certain if they‘re really pulling through with this. But the fact they‘re trying this behind our backs is enough reason to never give them money again. Your purchases will lose support eventually. It‘s only a question of when. And that‘s only one of many problems the site has, sadly.
