Hi guys I’m trying to model a ribbon around a ponytail.
I’ve tried with curves and IMM but it’s so damn tricky to get the knot shape and lay it around the hair.
Any other tips?
Thanks a lot!!
I’m sure there are better ways, but how i did this was to draw out the knot shape with a curve on a flat plane as if looking from above, then clicking with the curve strap brush, then refining to proper shape.
another method would be to use some other geometry, cylinder etc to get the shape then using a curve framed to its edge.
or you could draw out on a mesh a mask, convert to polygroup, frame by polygroup then curve strap.
Part of it all depends on if you really want the knot to be authentic to where the geo is wrapping within itself or you just want to fake it, if faking then you could just create the bow and ribbon as separate subtools
Thanks a lot for that. I’m gonna give it a try but I think at the end I’ll use Marvelous Designer to have a quicker pipeline!
Maybe with 4R7 things are easier but I still haven’t tried it

i actually find an amazingly quick and simpler solution http://www.stevenabbott.co.uk/Knots/knottyer3d.html
