Stages of Creating Professional Grooming

01. Analysis of Concept and Technical Requirements

Every project begins with a deep dive into the artistic vision and technical limitations. Our grooming artists study concept art, references, platform technical specifications, and performance requirements.

02. Creating Basic Geometry and Guides

Using specialized hair grooming tools, we create the basic structure of the future hair system. Our grooming artists carefully build guide curves, define hair growth zones, and set the system’s main parameters.

03. Detailing and Creating Variation

At this stage, we add complexity and detailing to the basic system. Our grooming artists create different types of hair — from fine baby hairs to major strands, adding natural variation in length, thickness, and growth direction.

04. Physics Setup and Animation Hair

For characters requiring animation, we set up complex physical systems. Our animation hair specialists create multi-level dynamic systems, where each strand responds to character movements, external influences, and interactions with other objects.

05. Materials and shader development

Proper materials are critically important for realistic hair appearance. Our grooming artists create complex shader systems that accurately convey light reflection characteristics of hair.

06. Optimization and LOD Systems

Modern hair systems can contain millions of strands, posing serious performance challenges. Our grooming artists create effective LOD systems that automatically adjust hair detail depending on camera distance.

07. Final Polishing and Integration

At the final stage, we conduct thorough testing of the hair systems under various lighting and animation conditions. Our grooming artists perform final polishing, remove visual artifacts, and optimize the system for seamless integration into your project.
