Hey there, would like to take an opportunity to survey people transitioners or old hands, about Hair/fur systems in Maya.
I've already seen Yeti used to great effect, in and out of production. Has anyone used Xgen ? cause despite the hype, the implementation at the very least from the demo, looks convoluted as all hell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15PJ4v_f-2I It seems to embrace all the tenants of Maya design philosophy, e.g: ... It's broken out of the box, no seriously the guy apologises like 4 times in the video before showing workarounds. Would love to hear if anyone has used it in production, and if it is actually useful, or if it is yet another Maya "Feature"... (Ps: yes i know Yeti is not commercially available in the US, but if we could restrict this to the technical ?.)
