How do I style my 3D character?

How to make hair beautiful – with Cinema 4D and Redshift? Creative all-rounder Joe Herman shows which tools are needed for grooming in C4D. An introductory tutorial.

In nuce: Maxon was not only represented at the industry events Siggraph and IBC this year with its The 3D and Motion Design Show – but also at the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) in Las Vegas. As a follow-up to this year’s NAB, the associated live recordings have now been released as YouTube videos – with Joe Hermanamong the prominent personnel .

In toto: The approximately one-hour video is all about grooming and rendering hair with Cinema 4D and Redshift. The tutorial is particularly suitable for artists who want to learn how to add hair to 3D characters. Lecturer Joe Herman describes himself as an artist, animator, motion designer, post-pro artist and filmmaker all in one. He is an alumnus of the School of Visual Arts, where Joe studied for a Bachelor of Fine Arts (specialising in painting, drawing and computer art). He is proficient in the use of such essential digital content creation software as Cinema 4D, After Effects, Adobe Premiere, Unreal Engine, Resolve – and many more.
