Kami Hair Tools - Sculpt - Misc

A collection of custom workflows for auto selection, generate clumping maps, and guide operations.

Auto Select

• Auto Select XGen Description: When enabled, the first selecting guide will be used to determine the active Description in the XGen window automatically.
• Collection Dropdowns: Centralized controls to switch between Collections and Descriptions instantly without navigating the main XGen hierarchy.

• Commands:
  • kami.auto_select()

Modifiers Listing

• Displays the clumping modifiers for the current description. You can access the "Generate Clumping Maps" window by clicking the corresponding icon.

Description	Condition	Indicator
Warning - No clump guides found.	Map uninitialized
Guide-based - Generated from native XGen guides.	Density = 1.0
Generate-based - Generated across the mesh surface.	Density ≠ 1.0

• Batch generates maps for multiple clumping modifiers at once.
• Simply toggle the desired modifiers in the list and click Generate Clumping Maps. This bypasses the need to open individual modifier tabs in the XGen window.

• Commands:
  • kami.clumping()

Guide Utilities

• Set Target / Move Guides / Clean Up: Shortcuts to the Target Guide Utilities provided by XGen.
  • Commands:
    • kami.target('set')
    • kami.target('move')
    • kami.target('clear')

Lock root

• Locks the base of selected guides up to a specified percentage. Useful to prevent accidental changes to the root shape when sculpting with Lock Length enabled.
• Performance Note: This feature performs calculations repeatedly. To ensure Maya runs smoothly, we recommend selecting only the specific guides you are working on, and toggle this feature off after sculpting.
• Tips: Combined commands (link)

• Commands:
  • kami.lock_root()
  • kami.lock_root(True)

Smooth

• Applies smoothing to the selected guides based on input value.
• Usage Note: If Lock Root is enabled, the smoothing operation will respect the locked proportion. Useful to smooth the hair body and tips while preserving the shape from root.
• Commands:
  • kami.smooth()
  • kami.smooth(strength)

Cut

• Shortens a percentage of selected guides based on the slider value.
• Commands:
  • kami.cut()
