In this tutorial, Marsel Khadiyev walks through procedural clumping on a full groom in Ornatrix App Beta. It is part 1 of a two-part look at clumping: this video covers large-scale procedural clumps, and part 2 goes deeper into editing individual clumps.

Introduction to Ornatrix 9 for 3ds Max - Create Brush Pipeline Part 4 Part 4 of my Introduction to Ornatrix 9 for 3ds Max tutorial series is now available.

This series is focused on a practical brush-driven grooming workflow, where the hairstyle is built step by step, section by section, with more direct control over the final shape. Unlike a workflow based only on masks, this approach allows you to shape the groom more manually while constantly checking the structure, guide flow, clumps and preview result.
