How are beard particles assigned to vertex groups?
As you can see below, the beard and tail particles are now assigned to the right vertex groups. I can advise you few more things. Before adding the hair particles to your model, make sure that:
Why are hair particles inside and outside Blender Stack Exchange?
The hair are growing inside the mesh. I have weight paint the mesh so that it grow outside the mesh only. Still the hairs are inside and outside. I added the vertex group below in density.
How do I assign a vertex to a particle?
Assign the selected vertex group and name it. Go to the ‘Particles Menu’ header and input the vertex group name in the Density window (located in ‘Vertex Grops’ panel). I’ve checked your model and found the solution.
Why is the hair on the outside of the object?
In your first Particle System the hair is inside the object because it was combed this way using Particle Edit mode. If you reset these changes by clicking Free Edit, you can see that the hair is only on the outside. To solve this issue, you should be more careful when combing the hair using brushes.
How to emit hair from skin modifier faces?
Select “Faces” should be default, and check the “Use Modifier Stack” option. You can use a vertex group to limit which edge (between 2 vertices) you want to grow the hair. Create the vertex group and assigning it with the weight of 1.0. Thanks for contributing an answer to Blender Stack Exchange!
Can a particle emitter be used after skin modifiers?
As shown below, the source mesh is just a couple lines, which I then used the Skin and Subsurf modifiers to create the stalk. So in short: is there any way to have the particle emitter be used after the modifiers (so that the particles can be emitted from the surface) without applying the modifiers?
How to negate the effect of a vertex group?
You can also negate the effect of each vertex group with the checkboxes. You can affect the following attributes: Defines the density of the particle distribution. Defines the length of the hair. Controls the amount of clumping. The weight of 1.0 gives current Clump value, weight of 0.0 completely removes effect.
What can you do with vertex groups in Blender?
The Vertex groups panel allows you to specify vertex groups to use for several child particle settings. You can also negate the effect of each vertex group with the checkboxes. You can affect the following attributes: Defines the density of the particle distribution. Defines the length of the hair.
