Saving Hair in Auto Mode

Auto Mode generates a hair mesh based on the person's hairstyle in the photo. It is created as a separate hair mesh in Character Creator so that you are allowed to save it as a custom ccHair asset in the Content Manager. It's easy to build up your own custom hair library through this method. The generated hair mesh is good for mid-range and crowd characters in your work. You can also use it as a base for creating high-res hair meshes.

1. Create a new project.
   
2. Open the Headshot plugin and switch to the Auto mode.
   
3. Drag and drop a face photo in which the person has hair into the plugin photo slot.
   
4. Follow the standard steps to create a new head of the photo. As you can see the hair is also created as an isolated mesh model.
   
5. Switch the Content Manager to Hair library.
   
6. Click the Add button at the bottom of the panel to add the hair into the library.
   
7. You can then build a collection of hair meshes with Auto Mode of the Headshot plugin.
