altbighead Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Boyd realised that the biggest bottleneck for any fur-oriented pipeline was the grooming. Grooming in its technical sense refers the description within the computer of the look of the fur - not just the directions it points in, but also the length, the colour, and all of the attributes that make it unique. Boyd - who seems incapable of displaying anything less than boundless enthusiasm for his work - elaborates, "I decided that we needed a whole new way of doing the grooming, one that was far simpler, easier and, above all, quicker - but that yielded the same results. I thought it might be possible, working in Houdini (3D software). I bounced my ideas off Senior Technical Director Dan Seddon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
