Hair for Games - Haircards, Grooms & Sculpting

This is a collection of exercises that I created for a course exploring the different types of pipelines usually found in games

The first exercise is The King - a handpainted sculpted Hair in the style of WoW or League of Legends, the main focus was a strong sinouette, good readability and of course good optimization

The second exercise is The Queen - a traditional hair cards workflow using Fibershop, Gs Curve Tools and Marmoset for the Rendering

And finally the Warlock - an xgen process with groom masks, expressions and modifiers to give a natural blend and look to the beard and hair.

All of the characters were developed by me using a combination of Maya, Zbrush, Substance Painter and 3DCoat for the handpainted elements.
