Tutorial - Making Custom Redfur (Hair Simulation)

This tutorial presents my methods. It's not THE right way to do it, you are free to develop your own workflow. Yes, I made an easy asset not leveraging all the power of Hairworks, but I didn't have 30 hours ahead of me to make a complex asset.

Before developing my addon for Blender I was literally using this exact method, but in Maya 2018, so it's still relevant. And it's probably exactly the same in 3dsMax.

3. Third, you will need to import the hairworks asset into the game:
