Set Roots

What is it about?

This page describes the Set Roots tool for hair in Cinema 4D. It replants guides that have lost their connection to the scalp geometry, anchoring their roots back onto the nearest surface — the repair tool after unrooting or topology changes.

Occasionally, it can happen that guides lose their link to the hair-covered surface (see Unroot guide). Use this tool to replant those guides. The guide roots will then be planted onto the nearest surface (of the object to which the Hair object is assigned).
