HAIR C4D

[Brian Jones]

I tried Clump (it has to be all along the length) along long hair with lots(!) of subdivision (100+) then Kink and or Frizz like crazy – values from 30 to 100% with scales up to 5000 and got sort of dreads but I could never get it organized enough, it was too frizzed.

The other possibility is to ‘model’ the dreads, extrude (Matrix) them out and use cloth to make them drape then add a material or Hair.

I used a similar method and got (IMHO) a pretty decent result. The key is the Cluster settings — particularly the twist parameter. Here’s a pic:

Hello.
my name is Marcel .
Excuse me the trouble . I ‘m still relatively new to Cinema 4d , looking for a possibility to create dreadlocks .
I despair about it: -) .
Now I’m looking everywhere but can not make it as a beginner with no information . Now I have thought that maybe I’m asking here . would be glad to get help very much.

I have a couple old example files I collected along the way. I’m pretty sure I did not do these. My apologies for not crediting the original posters as I don’t know who did them.
