On the Way to Becoming a 3D Grooming Artist | My Story | Episode 9 - 2017 - Grooming and Lookdev for The Light Within | Elementalist Lux - LoL (2017 - TrizzFX, Riot Games)

Image
I remember back in 2016, when I was just starting to work with hair, I dreamed like crazy about working on some epic cinematic for League of Legends by Riot Games! =) At that time, I was really into LoL and admired every new cinematic released for that universe. In 2017, I moved to Batumi for 6 months, and it was a pure gamble! I went there almost without money, hoping to land another freelance project. In fact, I had just delivered my previous job - actually, a test task for Disney, for which I was paid $1300. And it was with that money that I went to Batumi! hahaha. That month was incredibly stressful, and I can clearly remember the wild joy and excitement I felt. First, I realized that thoughts really do become reality and the Universe does hear us. Second, I got the job exactly at the moment when my family had already lost hope and said: “That’s it… we’re going back.” And third - it was a cinematic project for League of Legends from Riot Games themselves!!! I was literally running ...

  EXPORT ZBrush Hair to ORNATRIX 3ds Max. Episode 2: V-Ray Render & Real-Time Look Dev in Chaos Vantage In this second episode, we take the next crucial step with the hair we prepared in our first video. The focus here is not on creating a final, polished hairstyle, but on teaching the process of look development. Using the quick groom we created in ZBrush as our example, our team will demonstrate the complete workflow for setting up lighting, materials, and performing real-time look dev with the powerful combination of Ornatrix, V-Ray, and Chaos Vantage. This guide is designed to help your team master the techniques for iterating on any hairstyle, allowing you to efficiently explore and finalize its look.

On the way to CG Grooming. My Story. Episode 6 - 2017 - MBC Project(IXOR VFX)

Image
ARTSTATION *** As I wrote in a previous post - before this order - I did not really do a fur... was a hedgehog... Forester I have done later, when I felt confident in my abilities ... Lamb too ... So in the portfolio was - only 2 hairstyles and a bunch of old works, not related to grooming. That is unlikely - can inspire the customer to order such a complex project from me =) Although in fact - there is nothing complicated, because it was more work with hair than with fur (but that I now realize it, but then - to me it seemed unreal). But, IXOR VFX(Greece) came and made an order. At that time I remember Andronikos came the first time and said that he needed 3 characters - an unusual style like ghosts, but with hair and fur. I immediately replied, "I'm sorry, but I have no experience in this, I won't be able to help...". Since I've always turned down clients who wanted to do something I've never done. Because I think that you should take only those orders in w...

On the way to CG Grooming. My Story. Episode 2 - 2016 - 2nd haircut in Ornatrix

Image
  ➡️ ARTSTATION --- The second hairstyle I created was these curls. Also 2016 =) So why? I didn't take big breaks, I tried to devote full time to researching character grooming. After all, in the order with Disney - I failed a bit =) That's why I don't show it anywhere... Still lacked experience at the time...I was aware of that. The one hairstyle that was asked for was done great, but the other one wasn't... just lacked experience, that's what they told me. They even paid me for two orders... But I'm not sure if they were put into the project - another reason why I don't show it in my portfolio =) When the project came out, the people who worked with me were no longer working there... so there was no one to ask... In general - a very strange order, which I do not want to talk about more =) Anyway, I'm thankful for the experience I got working with them and for putting up with them and pointing out mistakes. Again - at the time I did not really understan...

  A video of how I set up the hair material in the "Scorpion Girl" scene for my render tests in V-Ray, Octane, Fstorm, Redshift, and Arnold. Also, in this video, I will talk about one important nuance that should be taken into account when setting up a shader in Octane Render.
