Happy to share my most recent XGen groom since full grooms are sorely lacking in my portfolio! Slowly coming round to enjoying the xgen process Check it out on artstation: www.artstation.com/artwork/eR6BQ6

Been working here and there on a full XGen groom since I don't have many in my personal folio. Almost there just needs a proper breakup and detail pass (and also a better render scene)

Put together some notes on babyhairs and hairlines since I notice common mistakes: www.artstation.com/blogs/hazelb...

Is this image AI??? I can't find the origin in reverse image search but any 'tells' in the style look like they can be somewhat justified.. I'm so sick of ai all over pinterest, man

A quick hairstyle made over a few days to test some maya issues I was having (now resolved yippie!) Kept it pretty low poly coming in at 20k tris.

Noodling with a lil hairdo, originally started to stress test some issues I was having in maya but obv now I gotta commit to finishing it

If you bought my tutorial I've just uploaded some additional optimised meshes and some elaboration on the optimisation part of the tutorial so be sure to go back and download that!

I'm all tutorial'd out for a bit now! Going to enjoy the summer and rest 🌞😎

I'm happy to present my second realtime hair tutorial! It's been a while now since my first one and I've got some new information to share that will help you elevate your realtime hair. www.artstation.com/a/48150728

Tomorrow!

Currently editing this together, was hoping to finish this weekend but that was naive! Hopefully within the next few days 🤞

Hair is coming up close to final! Losing patience with it so really having to push on those final details 😅

Hi everyone! I'm proud to share my latest realtime tutorial on waves! 🌊 Its been a long time coming, check it out on artstation: www.artstation.com/artwork/9829Pv

Hair is cooking 🥘

Good progress for a weekend! This is being recorded for my next video tutorial. I'm intending it to be a more 'advanced' version of my previous one. Much more concise and getting into the nitty gritty of the techniques I use so that you can hopefully push and elevate your own work to the next level🙏

Started recording my new tutorial today!

I've made the files available on my artstation store! Just the model and textures and marmoset scene- the OG files are just too messy! Handy if you want to have a closer look :) www.artstation.com/a/47847153

I've also put together a bundle of all the black hairstyles I've made so far with a 50% discount! www.artstation.com/a/47847281

Had the pleasure of speaking to 80lvl about my long waves hair style and expanding upon some of my process' Read it here: 80.lv/articles/how...

Progress is happening! Having some issues baking out certain maps that's making me wanna bash my head into a wall but we ball

Has anyone ever experienced weird artefacts after using Xgen's 'align to surface' twist brush? I can't figure out where its getting these fascets from, I've tried unlocking/averaging normals etc

Balancing the precarious combo of plants and cats

What hair do you think we don't see enough in games?

What would you consider the 'hardest' hair to make? Either realtime or grooms?

🌊🌊🌊 The waves are coming!! A while ago I set out to make this tutorial but I kept getting stuck. I kept coming back to it trying different things and I finally got a technique down! I've been re-doing it over and over to get it just right. Still not there yet but we're inching closer

I've put a few more of my latest hairstyles up on my store if you want to have a poke around www.artstation.com/hazelbrown/s...

Found some frogs in our pond, absolutely thrilled!!!

Rework of one of my favourite pieces! Made her a groom and tried out the strand rendering in marmoset 5. Check out artstation for more images: www.artstation.com/artwork/YG6GAd

Its a pain to move the hair onto a posed version of the bust so I'm sticking with just this one for the renders! Stil figuring out why ray tracing makes the hair super glowy and how to make her eyes less dark but I'm hype!

Testing marmoset 5 for my Twigs groom rework. Still stuff to do but I'm feelin' it

I've updated the post with my lighting breakdown and render settings. Figuring this stuff out was a nightmare so hopefully people find it handy! www.artstation.com/artwork/4Nq3lY

Re-render of a hair I made around a year ago- it was a 3 day speed run just to see how much I could do with a limited time. The first renders I made were very flat and didn't do it justice so I decided to mess around with it in unreal and give it some love. www.artstation.com/artwork/4Nq3lY

Found some time to noodle inbetween house move chaos. Reviving this old project since I still like it but hate the old hair- this time she's getting a proper groom since my folio is missing some good XGen stuff. Super early stages

I’m going to see Beyoncé!!!!!!!!!!!!

An update on the updo, next up is the most enjoyable part of the hair for me; now that I've plotted everything in I get to layer up and make it look pretty

Clocking in my mandatory hair artist 'bridal updo' for the year. Easy one I can turn my brain off and work on in spare time. Still a big WIP- focusing on plotting out the main shapes and where those clumps will be flowing

My desk companion

Now for the fantastic 3D artists I follow 🙂‍↕️🙌💖 It would be great if you could share it and give them some love if you don’t know them yet. I’ll keep updating and resharing these with time go.bsky.app/3GtnjDE
