upside down and once his lands on the ground a lot for goal shapes
were used to maintain the look.
Hairs were also simulated base on the motion

Penguins of Madagascar
CFX Developer
This shot of Brine from the movie Penguins of Madagascar was sim
using qualoth and added a little wind effect using Maya fields. As the
Director wanted a little bit of flutter effect on the jacket while Brine is
sliding down the ramp. Also simulated crowd character’s garments.
Tools:
Maya | Nhair
0:34-0:35
Penguins of Madagascar
CFX Developer
This shot was challenging because the character was rotating at a very
high speed and solver wasn't able to solve the frames. I used
properties and cache method to get the solve from qualoth. From the
movie Penguins of Madagascar .
(Did show level hair sim library setup)
Tools:

Ramayana The Epic
Hair and Fur Artist
The long hair for character Ram was simmed using nCloth and Shave
and a Haircut.For Ncloth based simulation I wrote a MEL script that
creates a strip of polygon next to each guide and later these strips are
converted into Ncloth. The guides were then wrapped with those strips
to inherit simulation of Ncloth. Also worked on bow string and shot
finaling.
Tools:
Maya | Shave and A Haircut

using nHair and chains were solved using nCloth.

Penguins of Madagascar
CFX Developer
This shot required a lot of scene finaling to flatten the skin and fur. I
combined different tools to achieve this specific flat look.
With use of Maya’s muscle system and deformers. I got skin solved
and then took that data to process fur flattening in Houdini.
The feathers for the bird( Nova) was solved using DW proprietary
feather system.
