POST 28: Hair Conception and Development (experimentation/development)

I have used the female model to experiment the hair on. In Zbrush I get to create the hair either by drawing it on or by clicking points from the head down her back. These points will then be adaptively skinned together to create the mesh of that strand.

I have decided to create dreaded hair because modelling normal hair would be too hard. These following videos are my recorded workflow in double speed... I have also cut unessential parts out. As usual just skim through it.

This first video is just playing around with the base and trying to create leaves that fitted into it. This experiment failed.

This video shows the successful process of creating the dreaded hair. It was a fun process that took a few hours.

This next experimentation was an attempt to create a head band:

I am pleased with the progress with the hair. The same kind of hair will be applied to the male. All that I am doing now with the female will be similarly applied to the male.
