Character TD Demo Reel 2018

Wooly shots were a beast to handle in Zootopia. His input cloth geometries were not rigged to his body and as a fat character he fluctuated in volume quite a bit. I spent quite a bit of time sculpting his input geometry to properly fill out his suit and remove large self collisions in the arms. His wool maine was simulated using PhysGrid a muscle solver which jiggled the growth surface that the Xgen description rode on. The jiggling had to be tuned to reduce the amount that the Xgen curves intersected with one another on his maine as the curves had no sense of collision. Post sculpts were used on the growth surface to resolve penetrations against his arms or suit, and to maintain volume on the squishes as his arm entered the volume. Post sculpts and sim constraints were used to keep his suit tucked properly into his neck while giving the proper rounded silhouette and hard creased folds. xGen description was used to cull any hairs around the neck line of the suit.
