Paint textures directly onto hair, craft braids interactively, manipulate clumps with precision, merge grooms, and much more.
After a long hiatus, Ephere, the developer behind Ornatrix, the powerful hair and fur grooming suite used in major DCC applications, has released Ornatrix for 3ds Max V9, more advanced and user-friendly than ever before.
It introduces a range of sophisticated workflows, including painting textures directly onto hair, braiding, direct clump manipulation, seamless groom merging, and procedural generation of hair textures based on mesh approximations, all supported by an improved UI. Under the hood, Ornatrix V9 is also faster and more visually responsive, thanks to code migration to SIMD libraries and upgrades to viewport rendering.
If you purchased Ornatrix for 3ds Max V8 within the past six months, you've already received a free upgrade to V9. For everyone else, Ephere is offering a 50% early-bird discount on perpetual licenses until October 1, 2025. After that, the discount will drop to 25%. Monthly and yearly rental options are also available.
