Dynamic Hair Shader – timelapse/walk-through


timelapse/walk-through exploring some of Carrara’s Dynamic Hair Shader parameters applied to a simple single-guide ponytail – approx 25min edited and sped up to about 4min. As you watch the video remember that the guide hair is not changing at all, just the hair shader.
