Adventures across the 3rd dimension

I think I'd like some horns, maybe of the curly ram/goat type. And of course he'll need some hair. Much hair.

 

Yeah, something like that will do nicely.

I bet they smell bad on the inside too.

You're not planning on opening it up, are you?

I could just flip the normals to make the inside the outside.

You BEAST!

Did a little test with the hair system last night.
And now I'm thinking that I should make a start on a 2D painting for the challenge instead.
It did not look good.
Videos will have to be watched.
Tutorials will have to be read.
Learning must happen.

Otherwise...

 

Not too bad. Looks a bit like a white Moncchichi

He could maybe do with a bit more variety in hair colour and length, but other than that he doesn't look too bad 

Yeah, I think I know how to have the hairs "pick-up" the colours from an underlying texture so that may be the next thing to try. For this test I was just trying to figure out how to use weight-painty vertex groups to stop the hair growing out of his eyes.
I wanted a bit of baldy chest too but that looked really goofy so I patched that up pretty quickly.
But combing the hair is so damn fiddly! I wish there was an easier way to make it flow naturally on the body. Perhaps the answer is in the physics options but that's yet more learning and I can only learn one thing at a time.

And after all that I then had to kill a Frost Troll in Skyrim...
 

and got annoyed at how much better that looked.
