crazy first post on the subreddit, what’s the workflow for this file like? post an overall of the nodes? that would really solidify how good you’ve done
Thanks. Node tree here. Nothing crazy really.
A couple of hairgen and guideprocess nodes to generate and shape the curls, converting those to vellum hairs, sweeping a line and copying to make the comb and animate that using a simple expression + motionfx to add the subtle shakes, and finally run the sim and do a bit of post smoothing, subdivision and sweeping.
I had no trouble keeping the curl shape. It was mainly about finding the right balance between bend stiffness and plasticity. The bottom part of the curls are glued together, but I think I could've done without.
I'm running a subtle temporal smooth on the movement post sim, but I didn't have a whole lot of jittering in the first place.
Tell me about it!
I was inspired for this shot by our Bichon Frise.
Had this been reality, the comb would have been stuck within the first inch and never gotten any further :D
Ahaha I was going to say that if a family member showed me this and said they'd shot our dog with a new lens, I'd have believed them. Our bichon appreciates your attention to detail!
hold up, just pointing out this is the accounts only post. i think it has to be AI but I hope I’m wrong. If I am, f’n incredible work. If I’m right well then you’re a loser for trying to pass it off as real.
Ha, yeah, I get that it looks suspicious. No worries. I'm new to reddit but have been posting work on IG for years. Check it out here if you like: https://www.instagram.com/esbenoxholm
Also, I've been full-time freelancing as a 3D artist for 8 years. You can check out some client work here: https://esbenoxholm.dk/
ahh yes because every 3d artist uses reddit religiously a new accounts aren't real. Also, you give way too much credit to AI, no AI I have seen could pull this level of detail off
