Hairy Wolf

Hair 3d wolf

This is the first model that was worked on in our hairy ani­mals pro­duc­tion tests. The char­ac­ter was mod­eled in XSI and ZBrush by Reza Ramezani.

The hair was also worked by Reza Ramezani using XSI hair. Tex­tur­ing was done using ZBrush and Photoshop.

You can see some more snap­shots and ren­ders in the gal­leries sec­tions. The ren­der is done in XSI 6.5 using Men­tal Ray and takes a LOT of time.

I even made a test ren­der on a quad CPU with 4 Gigs of RAM and a 64 bit XSI but it still took very long. I’m not sure but it seemed as if hair in XSI 6.5 doesn’t use any of the 64 bit capa­bil­i­ties of the appli­ca­tion. Most of the passes ren­dered very quickly on this sys­tem but the hair pass took almost as long as the tests on other 32 bit sys­tems. This is one point I’m going to inves­ti­gate fur­ther but if any­one has any sug­ges­tions they would be very welcome.

We are cur­rently work­ing on the rig­ging and ani­ma­tion and will post some updates soon.
