LogInThe RenderMan team invited Denis Zen for an article to share knowledge on hair production.
The artist shared tips on grooming with RenderMan for Houdini. The guide once again proves that Houdini is not just a tool for simulations. The toolkit is also perfect for grooming, look development, lighting, modeling, and other tasks. The article explains grooming a "Before and After" hairstyle and shows how to use Pixar's production shaders and lights.
Please note that the process is similar for both hairstyles, so the artist covered the “after” version and shared tips on using the new painting attribute node.
You can find the full guide here. The best thing is that you can also get project files with comments.
