Description
Hi, here is preview of my new 3D hair style from my upcoming new line , all hair are individual 3D tubes ( without trans-maps )created using Zbrush4 R2b and new feature Fibermesh , designed and exported at 44K polys to Daz Studio and rigged for Genesis . Rendered in DS using Reality/Lux render plugin. Textures are my V4 Mamita character
This is one of my most exciting project ever ..
I would like to design some also for use with Poser soon..
I hope you like
Cath

very good and beautiful work!!
this looks very promising & very very good!!!
Please send me a tutorial on how create/use Fibermesh in Zbrush4 R2b.
Wowzers !!! Very cool.
These are real hair :) very good! If the future of hair is this you are a genius. Are they morphable?
Awesome hair... will I be able to use it with Carrara?
Thanks I just tried importing hair to Poser from DS as cr2 and it worked 100% :)
The most realistic hair in 3D I've seen yet! Can't wait for it to come out.....Please keep us posted....
Yes you can use them with Carrara as well and Poser .. and are not morphable due that it are 3D hair with 90.000 hair , once they are set in style and exported can't be moved without distortions, I still try to find solution but for today it does not work. they don't use caps , the hair grown like direct from the scalp ..need to be rendered with AO for optimal effect.. other way you will see to much skin :) but I love it .. it will add reality to your work .. and the production is much more cheaper that trans-mapped hair .. so you all good for have some ! :)
this looks stunning.
cool real hair
Excellent
Awesome hair
it's a amazing idea !! This is the final step for Daz and poser software to reach the reality that everybody search ... !! i can't wait !! :) Gratz Mec you're a great artist ! Ale
That is truely amazing!! Can't wait for the Poser product!!
Wow - this is a really interesting development, you are so creative! Hair is so often the weak link in making realistic renders, and this look really good!
great job
Wow! This really exciting and the most realistic hair I have seen. You are indeed one of the most talented 3D modellers that goes into the details. Also very generous of you to share with us. My salutation for you. Just got my Zbrush 4R2b update and read about this new features. So far, I can only do it in Maya and Zbrush and have yet to get it cross or learn to use Daz/Poser. Cath, with so many good artwork and a wealth of experiences, you should also write a book on 3D human modeling and the process of how it can be port over to various platform like in Daz, Poser and Carrara and so on... Have not come across any books on that. This would make the modeling process pipeline more complete. I will be the first to pre-order it. Please keep us post if you do that. With what you done, animation of hair using simulated physics will soon make virtual character looks realistic even in action, not to mention what Kinect has done for mocap for human body. Thanks to help push the limit in the application of the technologies.
I look forward to seeing more, Cath. You know what a HUGE fan I am of yours!
Gorgeous hair, so realistic! I'm glad to hear it can be used in Poser. Sad to hear it has to go through DS first, I can't get anything past DS 2.3 to work on my machine :( Oh well, lol
This is beyond Stunning, Cath, it is Purely Incredible! I have never seen such Wonderful 3D hair, I understand why you are so excited!! Now I will have to get DS4 and Genesis!!!
Looks amazing my dear! XOXO
This is superb!
Wow, amazing work and along with the fantastic textures you put out, maybe my "art" will actually improve :)
Amazing!
Love it! It looks very realistic!
just STUNNING! I have, as I said at the DAZ forum, "stopped" at V4.2 and Poser 7... so if there is a model of this hair for "me" I would LOVE IT! stands with cash in hand :)
Wow! I think the poser hair situation is about to change big time. This is very effective and realistic! I look forward to seeing this in the market.
oh wow!!!
~Excellent!~
