Hanging Objects Effect
)
Do you want to archive an effect like this? You found the solution.
You can follow the full guide or skip the optional steps.
1) Open a new Scene, delete the default Cube and add Suzanne (Monkey).
)
2) Look through your Camera [NUM0] and rotate the Mesh as you want (tap [RKEY] twice for Trackball rotation).
)
3) Apply the rotation with [CTRL]%2B[AKEY]. This is needed for the direction of the Threads.
)
4 opt) Add a Subdivision Surface Modifier (Level 2) to the Mesh and apply it because we need the additional Vertices count.
)
5 opt) Go into Edit Mode with [TAB], switch to Orthographic View with [NUM5] and to Top View with [NUM7].
)
6 opt) Now select some random Vertices you can see from above (Top View) with the right mouse button and the [SHIFT] key.
)
7 opt) Switch to the Object Data in the properties panel, create a new Vertex Group with the plus sign and assign the selection to the Group. Leave the Edit Mode with [TAB].
)
8) Now change to the Particles in the Properties Panel. Create a Particle System with the plus sign and change the type to Hair.
)
9) Tick the Advanced Options Check-box. Now set the amount to about 20 (depends on the selected Vertices), Emit from to Verts (Vertices) and set the velocity parameters (Normal to zero, Z to 1). If you rotate your Viewport now, you will see that the Hairs stands upwards now.
)
10 opt) Now scroll all the way down to Vertex Groups and expand the Panel. Chose the Group (selected Vertices) for Density. Now we have control where the Hairs are coming from.
)
11) Change to the Materials in the Properties Panel and create a new Material. You can leave the Settings as they are.
)
12) Change to the Textures in the Properties Panel and create a new Texture. You can chose the Texture Type Magic for an instant colorized result or chose an Image.
)
)
_ You can now render with [F12] and you will see a hanging Monkey face._
The reason why this works is because the Hairs take over the color from the Material as long as the Material index is set to the Objects Material.
)
And that’s my render result:

Happy blending :D
