ProCodeCG codeMeetUp() #45 – Hair Styling and Rendering in Blender

Yes, this is the 45th ProCodeCG codeMeetUp(), yayyy 🙂

Yesterday Kampoong Monster Studio gave a workshop on Hair Styling and Rendering with Blender 🙂 The man in charge to deliver the topic is Bintang Senja – CG Supervisor of Kampoong Monster Studio 🙂

Hair effects can be done in to ways: with polygon and with particle system. In polygon, the hair is created from mesh by adjusting alpha to make it look more real. This technique is faster. With particle system (it can also be used for grass, explosion, fog, smoke, etc), the object (in this case hair) can be given effects, can be dynamic, can be interactive (some force field can be applied, like wind, etc.). But particle hair requires more computing power and relatively slow.

We used particle hair in this workshop 🙂

 

The audience. Small but powerful 😉

So the workshop began:

And these are some screenshots of the process. From peeling of the scalp, planting/generating some hair, combing and cutting the hair, applying colors and background, putting and arranging lighting to rendering 🙂

The happy us! 🙂

See you again! 🙂
