Thank you for the Ziggy Stardust brush...

[Gary Komar]

if ZB can handle billions of polys then why no hair these only around 1,100,000 polys thanks for veiwin !

Thats an awesome effect, but how did you do it?

How about a tutorial for this. Would be nice to see a finished model made and rendered using this method.

[Gary Komar]

thnx guys see if i can put together a tut on method

Thats interesting,
I also used a little different approach using blender for this (lot of other apps can be used, I suppose)

but results are also interesting and using less than a million faces.

thnx michalis this all done in ZB!

I know Komar, you used a masking grid.
A good idea is to construct just a group of hair and add it here and there. The move and smooth brushes are our friends here. I mostly agree that 1 or two millions of faces isn't much for zbrush, though I noticed that its not the amount of verts - faces that counts on performance. When lot of individual meshes are one in front of the other some delay should be expected. Noticed this?

Its great to see this working out. I am a fan of experimenting with masks and deformers etc as it opens up ideas for what can be done, and this has turned out great, well done.

long time no hear Frenchy, thanx Arran uploaded a hair sample divide a few times smooth off > deformations > gravity - y > sculpt with move tool . post improvements images here feedback welcome thnx for watching !!
