Lucas Hairstyles

As part of the character finaling team on The Ant Bully, I was responsible for modeling hairstyles for the human cast members in the film, as well as running dynamic cloth and cg hair simulations. We built the hairstyles in Maya using a system we developed at DNA Productions. I modeled the original Lucas hairstyles, “nerd” and “feral,” with proprietary software developed for use with Houdini, but ultimately we built the rest in Maya because of the speed and efficiency of the simulations. My other Maya hairstyles for the film include Mommo, pizza girl Bambi, and bullies Steve and Shigeko.
