Manual Retopology! :argh: :eek:

You deserve my vote just for that alone.

Well I've been animating today.
Followed by learning about animation and then trying to animate better. :dry:

And then I had to try and work out why a single strand of hair (with its patch of 200 children) would not move at all and just floated there in space.
Much later now and I still don't know why it was doing that but I solved the problem by just getting out the scissors and cutting it away. :stare:

But he's looking a bit sad.

Let's see if we can help him out.

I was hoping to add some details like teefies and maybe try to get an HDR working but at this rate of chocolate-munching laziness I might just be rendering my favourite frame for the final pic. :)

I started working on hair density, and getting to this point was pretty simple and straight forward (apart from thos odd bald patches which come from nowhere, and the fur texture overriding the skin texture beneath it that I spent ages painting). Getting anywhere beyond this to sort out hair length and direction has been a complete nightmare

Comb him. :stare:

I started out with a weight map but just ended up manually placing clumps here and there along with a bit of a trim with the scissors and some extra growth lotion rubbed into the scalp. :)
