Seminar Follow Up

Just a quick update. I've continued to work on the head from the zbrush seminar. After several attempts I finally figured out how to do hair in a way I like. I use a brush like Clay Tubes (with smoothing) or more recently Trim Dynamic to try to establish the shapes and volume and then use Slash 2 to make hard cuts and smooth them back as necessary. I'm really liking the Trim Dynamic brush.

I have often run into a problem when I brush geometry with sides too close together. The brush can collapse your two-sided geometry into itself. To fix this problem you can go to down to a low subdivision and then use the move tool to pull the object's sides apart again, then continue to go up in subdivisions pulling the sides apart. Alternatively I find the Inflate brush makes solving this problem quite easy.

At this point I'm mostly finished with the hair sculpt. I threw on some quick base colors for show. Next up: poly-painting.
