Winter Kokoshnik – WIP

by Alex Ledante July 24, 2019, 1:14 am 170 Views 15 Votes 22 Comments

building on the previous version, this one came together relatively painlessly, although I do still have one major roadblock to sort out before this is a viable technology. at any rate, the color scheme looks pretty nice to me

#1 один

the fur is a bit too blonde for my taste

I like the whole effect. What do you want to do with the fur?

added some ornamentation, because that's what a kokoshnik really is- a hat which you add ornaments to...

I should have had a look at this before. Great work.

      I try to keep the expensive elements until last, but in this instance the fur was important, so I deleted all the other textures to save clock cycles…

        I suspect there is so many moving pieces in what you do. As always i love that you share parts of the process with us!
