Matt FiberFX "Grizzly Adams" Test!

[Matt]

Okay, I am sooooo going to get some stick for this, but I've wanted to try it in FiberFX for ages!

What would I look like with a beard! :D

This is more of a proof of concept test rather than a photo real attempt, the 'beard holder' geometry underneath isn't matched perfectly, close, but not exact.

It was a quick test, didn't take long to setup, render time 1m 30s.

Cheers
Matt

That's awesome... Maybe it's a new 3d career, style and cut done in 3d before the hair dresser...

[Matt]

LOL, just call me Vidal Sassoon! :D

[ivanze]

Man, you look a lot like J.D. in Scrubs. :)

[novawave]

wow Mr.Matt, how long have you been playing with your new FFX tools,.it seems that you have forget to shave more than 3 years lol..(btw Mr Matt any new tutorial for the FFX? wanna hear more lol)

[StereoMike]

Man, you look a lot like J.D. in Scrubs. :)

I thought the same!

[zardoz]

matt, is there a way to make ffx stick in clumps like your hair? because I think ffx always looks too thin. for dry hair it looks really good like in this thread
http://www.spinquad.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23497

but if I want to make something like your hair in this photo with that wet look where several hairs stick and make a 'larger' fiber?

[Jim M]

You look like Obi Wan .... Ep1,2,3 ...

FibreFX shows us something quite clearly in this example... don't grow a beard Matt... :)

[Matt]

These aren't the droids you're looking for :D

[Digital Hermit]

Please... we know the beard is real. Now the hair... thats fake. :D

[JohnMarchant]

Hey Vidal Baboon :):)

[Weetos]

These aren't the droids you're looking for :D

ROTFL :ohmy:

I thought people just stood in front of the bathroom mirror closed one eye and squiggled away with a felt tip pen, it's a lot easier and quicker and it's interactive too.

[OOZZEE]

LOL... i gotta try that !!

[ghostlight]

Looks great! Where are the crumbs?

Yeah but what's the mirror's render time like though? LOL:D

[jasonwestmas]

Hey wow, I wasn't kidding when I said this is the Grizzly Adams School of 3D!

[jin choung]

sweeeeet...

hey, i see a "what do you look like with a fiberfx beard thread coming on"....

jin

p.s. geeez, see even something like this would have been an awesome way to sell fiberfx! how cool would it have been to see a big honkin' gallery of lw users with fiberfx beards showing off all the hair features!

[virtualcomposer]

Probably most of us don't need LW to make beards for us since we sit in front of the computer so long, we all have real beards. LOL I tend to forget what time it is and next thing I know my wife comes in and says it's 3am.

[pilF]

I'd like an extension of that on my scalp, grown a bit errr sensitive there over the years.

[safetyman]

Good job, Matt -- you made my day!

[Tobian]

Haha fantastic. So when are you doing some alternate beard styles? You should do a 'special' version of the FFX manual, with your beard with all the options settings, in a large photo grid :D

[TripD]

He's a lumberjack and he's okay!!!! lalala laaaaa lalala!

Great idea!!!

[BigHache]

That's a great image.

[Dennik]

Man, you look a lot like J.D. in Scrubs. :)

I thought he was J.D

[Matt]

Luka! My word! Where have you been?!!! Not seen you in ages! How are you?

[alqadi]

great it looks very realistic.

[pumeco]

Amazing isn't it, and to think that just moments ago you were bald with a beard!
Seriously though, that hairdo looks very realistic, you've even got that 'gel' look spot-on :thumbsup:

BTW, I'm also hoping to see other's post theirs - could be fun!

[Matt]

The hair is real! The beard is not!

[pumeco]

Yeah ... whatever ... I have proof (see attached) :D

[Jim M]

Its ok but your skin shader sux...

[Matt]

Lol!

[luka]

Luka! My word! Where have you been?!!! Not seen you in ages! How are you?
HI Mat
I just browse the forums now with the little time I get. I am well, busy with family and work.
How are you? Good to see your pushing the limits.

[Stooch]

or we could hav ea hairy balls competition. everyone show off your hairy balls!

[virtualcomposer]

Yeah ... whatever ... I have proof (see attached) :D

Best photoshop work I've seen yet. LOL!

[silviotoledo]

It seems fiber FX needs a better surface combination like sasquatch:) to smooth the borders

[pumeco]

Best photoshop work I've seen yet. LOL!
Hey thank's, took the greater part of two minutes that did :D

[Matt]

Hey thank's, took the greater part of two minutes that did :D

Your skills are the stuff of legends! :D

[virtualcomposer]

Lucas might be calling you up as the head of ILM...

[pumeco]

If I didn't know you guys better, I'd say you were taking the piss!

[hrgiger]

Hey thank's, took the greater part of two minutes that did :D

Couldn't you have at least googled for a bald head on google photos to comp in? The weekly world news may have a job for you. (I love that paper)

[DonJMyers]

The soft edges around it make it look like grizzly bear hair shot from a distance like in nature docs.
