scenario-maya-groom

separate

Use when grooming hair or fur in Maya with XGen (Interactive Groom splines or legacy descriptions): scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, fur, guides, clumps, noise, parting, density maps, a fill layer, aiStandardHair shading, noisy or flickering hair renders, hair that must move (Linear Wire, nHair, Alembic caches), or a groom for Unreal (groom Alembic, cards). Also when XGen hair looks CG, clumps look uniform, the scalp shows through, or an XGen script fails.
