Changes:

1. Color and width are now displayed in the viewport.

2. Color controls have been added.

The color is exported to Arnold as a custom primvar called ahoge_color. You can use the aiUserDataColor node with the attribute ahoge_color.

3. Ahoge has been slightly optimized and should perform better.

4. Viewport controls have been added.

The "Preview Sides" option changes the geometry of the displayed hairs. The more "sides" there are, the rounder the hairs become.

I also wrote a script that builds Ahoge module for multiple versions of Maya. However, the earliest version I was able to make Ahoge work with is Maya 2023. The Arnold SDK for Maya 2022 has functions that were deprecated in C++11 and removed in C++17. I would need to rewrite my entire plugin to eliminate the C++17 code that I rely on.

Hey, do you have version for 2022 Maya?

Nov 14 23:08

Veronika Aoki, I would need to rewrite the plugin for it to compile against an older MtoA SDK. This might change in the future if I decide to rewrite everything, but for now, Maya 2023 is the earliest version I can work with.

Hello, I am maya2023.3.1 version, install your plugin can not find the plugin name in the plugin manager, I tried to copy the plugin to maya directory, but still can not find the plugin name

Xuezhi Dong, it looks like Maya.env isn't setup. If install.mel failed for some reason you can setup it manually https://ahoge.wiki.gd/en/installation

Nov 17 13:42

Xuezhi Dong, I have added a Troubleshooting section to https://ahoge.wiki.gd/en/installation

If it still doesn't help, you can post the contains of your Maya.env here. I'm curious what went wrong.

Nov 17 14:09

Hello, I still don't understand your solution, if it is convenient, can you simply make a video to explain the installation method

Nov 17 14:22

Xuezhi Dong, 1. Unzip the file
2. Drag and drop install.mel on to Maya's viewport
3. Restart Maya
4. Load plugin If it doesn't help, please post the content of your Maya.env at C:\Users\%username%\Documents\maya\2023

Xuezhi Dong, ahoge_module should be somewhere like D:/maya_plugins/ahoge_module In your screenshot there's Maya.env file. Please post here what it contains.

Maybe the Chinese localization of windows handles the environment differently. Maybe the delimiter is different, now that I'm thinking about it. Sorry about that. In this case, install.mel is probably not going to work. Maya.env needs to be changed manually.

Nov 17 15:08

I've already done it the same way, but I still can't see it

Nov 17 14:53

Xuezhi Dong, I will install Chinese Windows later, to make sure I understand everything. I wrote a manual, as best as I could, how to install without using install.mel https://ahoge.wiki.gd/en/installation

You still haven't posted your Maya.env

Nov 17 16:47

Still no, too bad, can't use such a good plugin

If the installation fails, you can try putting all the files in documents-maya-20xx-modules
