Anime Character Rigging with Hair Physics Tutorial
Posted: Mon Dec 18, 2017 4:49 pm
I thought I remembered a recent question about animating hair, but I can't find it. This tutorial was not about a Makehuman character but a scratch built character mesh. I'm not up to this level in Blender so didn't test. Thought others might find it helpful to spark some ideas. It does go into weight painting. Also using a deform mesh for clothes. The first half of the series is on the armature for the character. The second half of the series is on rigging the hair.
Daniel doesn't seem to use a script so sometimes he gets ahead of himself and has to make corrections. This does point out some potential mistakes someone might make.

This also mentions "preserve volume" option on the "armature modifier".
How hair was modeled (forgot these, in case you wonder)
