A SONG FOR THE FOREST
My recent project was an exploration of fantasy,
with the goal of exploring different grooming techniques,
as well as lighting and look development. I'm thankful to the mentors who provided clear and constructive guidance in the creation of this piece.

LOOK DEVELOPMENT
For this project, I wanted to explore the various tools used for grooming as well as programs. I created the base guides and overall look using Houdini, and then proceeded to test the groom using the curve guides with both X-gen and Yeti. Since I created this project for a free-class, I knew I would be using yeti as the required grooming tool, and Vray as my render engine. So in the end, that's what was used to create this look for my main character!
