Foxes Forest

Deep within a mystical forest, moonlight filters through the towering trees, casting an eerie glow upon the mist-covered ground, hiding endless secrets waiting to be discovered.

​

The Concept

"Foxes Forest" is based on a concept by reza abbbasi on Artstation

Breakdown

I sculpted both the character and the fox in Z-Brush. I used polygroups and zremesher in order to get the topology that I needed before bringing the model into maya to rig/pose. 

​

I also sculpted out the trees and branches in order to get the exact shape and style that I needed. I then textured the models in Substance Painter

​

The leaves and foliage geometry are from speed tree and mega scans.

I used a tube groom workflow in X-Gen to create the groom system. I chose to do this over manually placing guides as it was a more stylized hairstyle/concept. 

​

I started by drawing out the curves, and then used curve wrap to create the geometry. Once I had each individual section created, I converted them into guides in X-Gen

​

After general adjustments, I added modifiers such as clumping and cut, and used rand expressions to further enhance the look of the groom.

​

Using multiple render passes and light selects I was able to enhance my composition using Nuke. 

 

I brought in various atmospheric effects to further add to the scene, including fog and foreground flowers.
