Although I know that there are different plugins available now that can achieve hair effects, and sometimes I want to make a plush carpet, I still want to ask you, is it possible to add hair filters in Sampler?

Hi @饰31232974leet 

 

Thanks for the question,

 

Real hair effects simulation (Grooming as it's usually called) isn't currently properly possible through Substance 3D Sampler. Grooming for animals or human hairs is an entire profession and would require a very different approach from Substance Sampler than "traditional" texturing.

 

For simple meshes or not- hero assets, working with custom materials could work. You'll find several assets online that could serve as a strong base for a hair effect material.

 

 

 

With that being said, I'll share with the rest of the team your interest in Grooming through Sampler. If anybody else sees this topic and shares the same interest, please let us know and like or comment this thread.

 

Best regards,
