Area :: Tutorial :: Mars Police: Hair and Render Breakdown


Recently posted on the AREA:

When Softimage ICE was released, it was clear that any dedicated user who were not afraid of words like ‘multiply vector by matrix’, have been able to develop a hair-styling system, without writing a single line of code.
