#alpha maps

Hi there! Thank you very much. I love doing this blog and I love knowing people enjoy it. I’ve done two posts on hair before (here for film and here for games) but I don’t know if this is exactly what you were looking for. 

My favourite tutorial is the Varga hair tutorial. It’s an oldie but a good one. You can find it here. Paul covers some essentials in the tutorial about alpha maps and making the most of your texture map. 

There’s a making the female face tutorial done by Hazardous you can find page 3 here which is about hair. It’s not spikey hair but it’s same principles. 

Ben Mathis has done some low poly hair as well as a demo for using Ornatirx in 3dsmax (it’s $499 USD so I don’t recommend it unless you’re a business) You can find his Delilah tutorials and other here.

If you’re interested, here’s what NaughtyDog did for Uncharted 4 it’s a cool video explaining that they used hair cards because of limited shaders and what other difficulties they faced with hair.
