I am very excited to see how Fabio became the backbone of the hair nodes that Houdini have today, from been a side project several years back, is amazing to see how many features been ported to the software, such twist along clump, deform by skin, color variance in shaders and so on, every upgrade i get happier to see the improvements.

to believe that I started as an intern at Sesi and to see code that i did as a side project and see those ideas implanted by very talented guys made me realize how much i have learn from so many talented people, from the industry to the forums you guys made this possible.


https://github.com/pelos/fabio [github.com]
need to update the website
https://polybevel.wixsite.com/fabio-hair-system [polybevel.wixsite.com]

main features:
- updated the shelf python code any developer can keep adding more nodes depending on production needs
- now that we are moving to Karma we can use the Fabio grooming geo node directly, and not the procedural for Mantra
- created another material that works with materialX nodes and can be use in xpu
- several attributes can be pass to the shader (ex if you need to change color because the hair got wet)
- most of the fabio features node at scene level been ported into a sop node to control the hair, crazy, guard and white hairs
- added several examples

i am excited to see what's come next

Just a quick video on how to use Fabio, what nodes use and so on...
more to come
