Hairy Work

I quit upgrading 3D Studio Max at version 5. I was doing a lot of stop motion at the time and was only using Max to composite and to generate Stop Motion rear-projection backgrounds.

And since I was not teaching CGI at the time and I had been with Max since version 1 and there had only been minor changes between version 3.1 and version 5 I just decided I would save the money.

Man has there been some major changes in the last 4 versions. I have been fooling around with the Hair and Fur modifier. Have not got the graavity to affect the hair sub-objects yet. But it is major fun. Almost like playing with a Barbie Hair Salon play kit, cutting and styling the monster fur.



The coolest thing is you can place the Fur modifier on a model that already is animated without losing the animation.
