Time Stamps and Chapters ADDED! Use it to skip to any of the video. 
In this video, captured from one of our livestreams, I go over some general tips for xgen groom construction, outline and demonstrate the proper export process for taking your groom into Unreal, then show you how to setup groom bindings, hair shader, and groom physics.

In later videos, we'll dive into creating the hair-card variation of the same groom to apply to our alembic groom in Unreal, plus much more. Please Subscribe!
