Hair alternatives

[Anonymous]

How does one go about creating hair like the Kingdom Hearts video game characters? See my link to see what I'm talking about. My computer can't exactly handle "fur" processing right now, and I think I would be happy with a more cartoony style anyways.

I use a grass object plugin from here



Trans-mapping and some falloff can make deliver pretty neat hair with this.

For the absolute 'cartoony' look you might skip the trans-mapping and aplly an additional 'flex'.

Go ahead and try it.

ahh...only problem is this: I'm running Max 8 so I wouldn't be able to run that plug-in, would I? Is there a version for 8?
