Concept
The patient came about as a part of learning to make hair in Maya.
I was inspired by specific patterns and styles combining cold, grungy metal with golden-black ornaments and patterns.
This was my third attempt at making hair cards - I had tried my hand on two separate occasions in 2023 and in 2024 with the game "still".
Previously, I had made hair only in Zbrush using spheres and the Bend Curve function (e.g. Veon in 2023, Nuae in 2024).
First attempts
First attempts at making hair in 2023 using curves and sweep mesh.
Making Of
I sculpted the Patient and his clothes in Zbrush and blocked the brass knuckles and staff in Maya. I painted the character´s skin in Zbrush and textured the rest inside Maya.
I used the Sweep Mesh Function in Arc Mode to convert curves to meshes in order to create hair. I analyzed the way hair falls using references and used a haircap underneath the strands to fill blank spots.
