Sleek bun

This spring I had the pleasure of taking part of CGMA's hair pipeline course, led by instructors Naky Solanki and Caleb O'Brien. I learnt tons and had very fun working on the assignments, resulting in this hairstyle! I used a red carpet look from Vanessa Kirby as reference, as I wanted to create a classy, slicked back bun. I'm very grateful for all the feedback from Caleb, that helped me push this as far as I did.

Hairtexture was made from scratch with Xgen and Photoshop. I placed the cards in Zbrush, then subdivided and polished in Maya. Shader and renders in Marmoset Toolbag 3. The head model was made by Naky Solanki and provided for this course.

Looking forward to making more hairstyles now! For next time I'm aiming to do a nice breakdown.
