if you peel back exactly one layer of the excuse "the tools don't make it easy for 3d artists to make black/curly/textured hairstyles" underneath you will see "this is an industry-wide problem that I do not want to address because it would force me to admit that the tools have not been developed because that specific need is not seen as a priority"

#there is an argument on twitter and i just #i spent a week attempting to figure out how to make corkscrew curls in blender #and in the end i had to frankenstein together several methods #because it was clear that the default assumption if you're animating/modeling hair is that you want it to be straight or soooort of straigh #in which case 'just sculpt it! it's fine!'#but there were several tools with just the slightest bit of tweaking could have been perfect #for creating things like locs and tighter curls #so it is both an industry wide standard issue #as well as a not wanting to put in the time issue #what im saying is if you see a 3d artist complain about specific nonwhite hairstyles they're a little crybaby bitch
