Description

"And I said Yes, you look Wonderful Tonight". Another day, another portrait and another experiment with hair! One of the things that makes hair look real is what I have seen referred to as "strays" - the few whispy hairs that break away from the main bulk of the hair and do their own thing! Confirming hair models are good at creating the main bulk of hair, but not so good at strays, so here I tried adding dynamic hair to an existing conforming model (Agent Hair by 3Dream and DigiCalimero) to mimic the look of strays. I'm not sure I got it 100% right here, but it's a technique that I think has potential to add new life and detail to existing hair models. And she has nice eyes anyway... Thanks for looking and putting up with my endless experimenting! Cheers, Phil

I love that song :) Great looking portrait and the hair does look wonderful :) couldn't resist. I love the way you've added the wispy hairs and it really does add realism.

It takes one brave soul to do the experements to set the standard for others to follow. The Cararra dynamic hair tools seem yet greatly unexplored and it's interesting to see how this develops. Another great example!
