Another quick Hair-Farm style. Using a simple brush modifier setup and a bunch of style modifiers, with eyelashes and skin fuzz. Setup time about 30 mins, render about 5 minutes.

Composite between Lightwave and Max.

Nice one Cem, this looks ace. Anishmations was doing something with feathers on a previous thread some where? Would be great to see the 2 techniques combined!

Thanks Cem.

pluMmet: Well I sacrifice allot. More than I should. Plus I work from home and for myself which helps. It's the main reason I left full time employment as I had no time to do these kinds of things! Thanks for commenting

pitiwazou, 3DTutorial - Thanks guys. Here's a newer update, slightly better quality although not great (it takes ages to render this scene in LW - 6 GI bounces is why) More refinement to come based on Cem's sugesstions. Cem if this image is not appropriate here just let me know, I can crop it or rem...

It looks absolutely great! :ok: There are two things I noticed: - I see a lot of holes and empty areas in between hair clumps (separate extrusions). Are you going to add some strands there? - Not all clumps go towards the ponytail. Some of them end up a little above the ponytail. As a result the po...

Next update: Copy of Temp-Comp-03.jpg It took me literally about 1 minute to create the ponytail! I quick trick with H&F to create the guides (because I am lazy I could have done it by hand) then made a sphere for Hair-Farm and used the Extrude modifier to create the lovely wisp guides in polygo...

Thanks Cem, this hair model has been intense so far. For anyone interested, it has over 80 seperate extrusions with about 3-4 refinements (segments each) (This took about 4 hours straight but well worth it) The great thing is it's all on one mesh scalp but has 3 seperate Generate modifiers with thei...

Great work, the hair structure looks ace! you have more patience than me!

It really pays off though.

Just thought I would pop in and post something new. It's been a while. A new hair style for a new image I am making, it calls for lots of detail and bags of patience to create. I am extruding lots of hair groups by hand, it time consuming but the final results are pretty rewarding. More to come. Hai...

Wow some very impressive work there. Very inspiring to see

WOW! Nice setup, that looks very complex! Great work.

Thats fantastic Infinite! Real freaky stuff this time! I've also been working on 2 styles when I suddenly had to get home on a small trip. I'm waiting to get back n get my hands on hairfarm on 17th. . . Btw,about your offer, I'd like to take it up and test animate nexus.. It would be great if you c...

Thanks Cem. and cheers for the gallery plug, much appreciated.

P.S. If someone would like to try and animate this file with me (somehow) just let me know and I will give you the files. It would be ace to see her move or have some sim applied, even just a light breeze on the hair or something, with her blinking perhaps (I have some morphs for from real scanned d...

I thought I would post something new as it seems this area of the forum is very quiet! in fact too quiet! come on guys, we have been given a virtual gift from the programming gods! Here's a quick hair style, very nice an easy from a sphere with a bunch of modifiers applied. Scanline render 5 spotlig...

Well done on the video Cem, thank you kindly for the links and mentioning my input. I wish I could have done more and to a higher quality.

Great to see the screen captures put to good use

. Lots of maps used here for Growth, Colour, Length, Clumping etc What method of painting are you using to paint the maps? You can see in the Demo files, I have shared the model. I am using UV maps and Photoshop to paint greyscale information on the textures, depending on which input they are used ...

Also here's a new 360 Movie.

I upadated the original post, new eyes and more hair details. Plus the attached Max Renders.
Hair-Farm rocks!!

Nice work, Lee, as always! :ok: The backlight seems a bit too strong in the video, don't you think. :) As for the final image at the top, one of the eyes sort of seems blind because of reflection, or the lack there of. Your right on both things. I am working on them now :ok: This might interest you...
