Sculpted in ZBrush, textured in 3D-Coat. Hair groomed in Ornatrix + Zbrush Fibermesh, Rendered with V-Ray Next for Maya.
Creating a hairstyle took 5 days.
The main goal of this project - create the new hairstyle from imagination by using hair references.

This looks really nice. I’ve never really tried using the hair systems in max, maya or zbrush (certainly not the latter), last time i did was in max version 8, back in 2006, back when i was using a Dual Core with 2 GB of RAM, god did my system struggle 
Anyways, i looked up that hair plugin…
Gulp.
$600 for a hair plugin for a program you have to RENT for nearly $2000 annual? I hope to god they give free upgrades (like good old Pixo), because, for that price, i’d want a fully standalone package. AND it can do feathers, properly, that would be great for an idea i’ve been thinking about doing (a redo of an old max project), but without a good way to make feathers, it’ll never happen. And i’m NOT paying $600 for a plugin to a program i don’t even use anymore.
Thank you for your comment. This program is worth the money and if you are a groomer - you have no problem making that money in 2 days of work=) They have a $50/month subscription and a full demo with the limitation of not being able to save the project. I’ve been learning on it and it works great.
