Particle Edit Shape Object / Shape Cut

throwcode · September 22, 2015, 12:29pm

Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to use the Shape Object / Shape Cut feature in Blender’s Particle Edit View for a couple of days but have not had any success. I followed a Google query to the Wiki where there was a paragraph of instruction with several images. I think I followed the directions but when I place a shape around the Head/Hair and Click on the Shape Cut button, ALL OF THE HAIR IS REMOVED?

If anyone has successfully used this feature I would be very interested in how you did so.

Thanks.

TC

Can you post a link to your blend file to review just before you press Shape Cut

Move the objects to the grid origin and then try

If you also apply the scale to all objects (Ctrl+A) to get their axis scales back to 1 you’ll get a slightly different result with hair length

Hi Richard, Thanks that would have taken me forever to figure out.
