I&#8217;m curious to see what the community thinks of them and whether they&#8217;d be worth trying to sell.  It&#8217;s a project I&#8217;ve been working on, on and off, since 2017\/2018 for christopher robin.<br \/>\nWe had this problem where framestore had delivered a final groom without any guides and expected us to deform it, so I started building up these tools to avoid rebuilding the groom from scratch and hoping it matched.  I found the default houdini guide deform tools a bit lacking.<br \/>\nThese tools can select good representative guides and deform a dense groom, while doing a reasonable job of retaining the shape.  It has some tools for post processing\/resolving collisions and a husk procedural with the same capture\/deformer logic.<br \/>\nIf you have any time or inclination to try it out, this zip file has the hdas and a scene that demonstrates some workflows and examples.<\/p>\n<p>Attachments in this post: <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/fx-td.com\/houdiniandchill\/wp-content\/uploads\/discord\/20264105\/04\/26\/iso.hair.1.12.apprentice.zip\">http:\/\/fx-td.com\/houdiniandchill\/wp-content\/uploads\/discord\/20264105\/04\/26\/iso.hair.1.12.apprentice.zip<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made some hair tools.
