To create a hairstyle for billy I selected the face that I had created and added a "Hair & Fur" modifier to it.
When you have the Hair and Fur modifier selected you can change the options to select amount of hair, colours, specular and glossiness to make the hair look like you want it to.

The next step was to select the areas of the face that I wanted to have hair by using the polygon tool on the dropdown list from the Hair and Fur modifier box.

Once all of the areas were selected I clicked on the update selection button to select the area for the hair. So that the Hair and Fur modifier could place the hair on the face model where I had selected.

The next step was to do some test renders to see if the character looked like I wanted it to.

So now Billy has a cool new look with some stylish blonde hair although when I created the hair modifier I selected the colour to be brown but I think the reason that it has changed the colour is because of the target light and the omni light for the television.

Hiya mate, Thanks for the comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteLiking your character, I had not seen any of you work before so had a noose and needless to say I am very impressed. Be cool to see the animation, look forward to it.
