Rick Grimes Groom
Introduction
Exhibiting the real-time hair and beard groom of Rick Grimes from the TV series TWD. To reflect the hardships of the post-apocalyptic era, we adhered closely to references in order to achieve a wavy and messy look. To accomplish the intended result, we first planned the groom in ZBrush, which provided a clearer picture of the overall style. The groom was then used as a base while placing hair cards and served as a reference for understanding the hair directions and volumes. All the hair cards were placed manually in Maya and were textured using Xgen. All this was an exceptionally challenging brainteaser. Finally, the groom was rendered in Unreal Engine 5.
