Introduction to Ornatrix - Episode 5: Creating Natural Bangs in 3ds Max In Episode 5 of the "Introduction to Ornatrix " series, we focus on one of the most important steps in hair grooming - creating a natural transition from the parting to the bangs. This stage often defines whether the hair will look believable or artificial, especially in close-up character work. Why Bangs Are Difficult in Grooming Bangs may seem simple at first, but this is exactly where many grooming setups start to break. Incorrect guide flow Wrong root direction Lack of smooth interpolation If these elements are not handled correctly, the hair quickly loses its natural structure and starts to feel artificial. Workflow Overview In this tutorial, I go through a clean and production-oriented workflow for building a smooth transition from the parting to the fringe. Using the Plant Tool for precise guide placement Interpolating between guides to create smooth hair flow ...

How to Generate Hair Cards in Ornatrix for Cinema 4D If you work with digital hair in games, stylized characters , or real-time pipelines, hair cards are still one of the most practical solutions. In this tutorial, I show how to generate hair cards automatically in Ornatrix for Cinema 4D using the Mesh from Strands workflow . This approach helps convert dense strand-based hair into cleaner, more optimized geometry that can be used for game-ready assets , stylized characters, and real-time character production. Why this workflow matters Building hair cards by hand can take a lot of time, especially when you already have a detailed groom. With Ornatrix for Cinema 4D, you can speed up the process by turning strands into mesh-based hair cards directly inside your grooming workflow. This makes the technique especially useful for: game character hair stylized hairstyles real-time character production Unreal Engine pipelines optimization of complex hair grooms ...

Back in 2018, I got an absolutely incredible opportunity! Ryan Grobins , who at that time was a CG supervisor at  ScanlineVFX  and had worked on blockbusters like "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" and "Ant-Man and the Wasp", invited me to join his new CGI film  Cyan Eyed! At that moment, I had only seen a single concept of a pirate girl and had no idea it would turn into an amazing 8-minute cinematic that would later win a bunch of awards! And the most fascinating part is that it’s still winning awards to this day! =) Ryan keeps posting  on LinkedIn  almost every week or month about a new prize or festival. And the short itself has already gained over 2 million views on YouTube! As usual, I was doing the work I love most – grooming – but honestly, I was really anxious about how this project would turn out. I absolutely adore steampunk and everything connected with it, and this was something completely fresh and unusual! In the film, I was responsible for creating the hairst...
