  Hello community,
  I have this problem:

  I added hair to my character and I want this hair to be as polygonal so I can export it as Plexus obj sequence and play with it in After Effects using Plexus plugin.
  I tried to convert hair to polygon objects but It freezes after it ( I have a walking loop )and also when I render still image it looks totally weird (not like the hair obj in the print screen).

  Any ideas how to solve it ?

  Thank you so much !

  You can bake it to geometry with the NitroBake plugin. All you have to do is set the Hair object to generate some kind of geometry (Hair object>Generate>Type:________). Then run the plugin with PLA checked.

  Not a free plugin, however, and it’s possible there are other ways to do it.

  Adam, thanks for your response. If I change the type from instance to geometry – the whole thing changes to some crazy shapes. I want to maintain the exact or at least very similar type of hair ( pyramids, spheres, etc.) Or there is something I do wrong ?
