Note: When your initial Maya curve are more complex, (for example, if it has a lot of curls), creating a twist strand may causes some issues. Twist strands will likely not follow your initial Maya curve, or, contain flipping faces along the strand. Here's how we can fix it.
- Depending on your complexity of the initial Maya curves, increase Source Spans value. The more complex your curves are, the higher this value needs to be. (It will also be slower)
- Increase the SubD Length slider
- Click on the Smoothing button to smooth out the twisting faces.
