Strand Presets

Strand presets is a great way to store your strand settings in a local file. The presets can be applied in a different scene. It can save a lot of time from project to projects.

The preset button is located in the Strand Editor at the top.

Saving Presets

• Simply select a strand, and Click on Save Preset. Only one strand can be saved at a time. If you have multiple strands selected, only the first one will be saved.

Applying Preset

• With strand geometry/curve selected (you can have multiple strands selected), and click on a user preset to apply the settings.

Resetting To Default

You can reset the entire strand back to default settings as its first created.

Using reset to default will reset the normal orientation back to their initial states, and could have the tube/card strands facing undesired direction.

Deleting Presets

Deleting a preset is NOT undo-able and can result in errors if you try to at the moment.

If you need to switch Maya version you can grab the preset file directly from:

user\Documents\maya\<Maya Version>\presets\xgtc_presets\xgtCardBuilderPreset.json
