<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Modelling hair (magnus the red)"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Modelling hair (magnus the red)
the two idea's i've considered were making a huge blob and cutting away until i had the details of the hair.
OR making hundreds of strands of GS slightly thicker than a paperclip and using them (as per the dreadlock style)

does anyone have a better solution?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/538729.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/538729.page GMT Modelling hair (magnus the red) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/538783.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/538783.page GMT Re:Modelling hair (magnus the red) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/538805.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/538805.page GMT Modelling hair (magnus the red) Id go with a giant blob of greenstuff. Id probably make a smaller one first, for structure and to get the general shape, then when that was cured I would layer over top of it and sculpt in details, individual hairs up the front sides back and off the top. You could even use the thin strands idea once you had the blob down for a guide. That is quite a mane he has, I dont think there is any easy way to get the effect, but maybe someone else has an idea.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/538820.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/538820.page GMT Modelling hair (magnus the red) RPG this week that needed a ponytail look to look better... Basically just used a thin piece of greenstuff and used a wet edge of a knife to put thin lines in in it and it looks reasonably hair-like. Biggest problem with doing it like the source pics is that it might not look hair-like sine it's not a natural hairdo.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/538868.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/538868.page GMT Re:Modelling hair (magnus the red) GS so you can get the style down first. Personally I think the dreds would look a little weird on him as he simply has a crap ton of hair.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/538947.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/538947.page GMT Modelling hair (magnus the red) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/539134.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/539134.page GMT Modelling hair (magnus the red)

Are you planning on sculpting a head for him too? I don't really know any heads big enough to fit the bill.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/539429.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/539429.page GMT Re:Modelling hair (magnus the red) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/539476.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/539476.page GMT Modelling hair (magnus the red)

Thousandth Son, magnus the red is imfamous for being gigantic in size so im representing that by basing him on a giant model.

Chrysaor, yeah ill be finding one of the giant heads that looks the least slowed and sculpting over the bits that are still slowed

KingCracker, i have thought of using a GS substitute for a trial run but i decided against it due to a lack of being able to find some .

Balance, the hairstyles unnatural nature does make this so much more chalenging as its pretty unique to this model.

Elnicko, there may be no easy way but there must be a way that looks good

Thanks for the input so far guys ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/539891.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/539891.page GMT Modelling hair (magnus the red) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/540498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228576/540498.page GMT Modelling hair (magnus the red)

The old Chaos Dwarf Llamasu head worked quite well for my Magnus, but I based that one on the Epic model. Just sculpted a single eye to replace the two on the model and that was that.

Vale,

1. Create the basic shape and volume with greenstuff, but add no detail. Let this set. Add another layer to that and sculpt in the hair detail (strands and whatnot). At the ends, pull the putty to create strands.

2. ...the basic shape part above, then roll out a dozen or so strands as thin as you can. Layer these on the basic form. This will give more of a dreadlock look, which may work out OK.

I may have to do this on my site as a tutorial... hmmm...
