Sneak peek of Khumba from Annecy....

Here is a sneak peek at the movie(Khumba) I was working on. My main responsibility as Head of the Fur department was the creation of the fur, feathers and scales. I also got to groom and do a lot of the TD work.

All-in-all was an awesome load of fun. \:D/

Beautiful broken fur

Fur, Feathers, and Scales

Fur, Feathers, and scales

The last year or so I have been making lots of the above mentioned. And now after all my suffering I would love to build these systems for myself, so that if I EVER have to use them again that I would be ready and prepared ..... kinda.

I'm going to use my blog as a way to keep track of everything I learn and everything I try sooooo Hopefully it will help me not get distracted too much.

To start:

I have been using a combination of melena, normal soft strands, and 3dquacks verlet integration to make Khumba's fur. I found this to be an "ok" way to make fur, but it is heavy and "jittery". So I'm hoping to improve on this.

The feathers are melena but with a huge twist, and the scales is a whole new system i made on the fly so these two need the most work :D

Yeah for ICE \:D/

Fur Nodes using Melena Base for Khumba

Alo again :D

Here are the Compounds I made and used to create the fur,feathers and Scales for Khumba the Movie.
P.S. It needs melena as a base. Hopefully when I'm done with the whole system it wont need that any more as I found that the curve sets it creates are super heavy. Any way here is the link......

Just a note, I'm still a noob at Ice in general sooooo, just saying :D
