In this part, I made the protagonist of the whole film. My protagonist was modified from another character of mine. I made a lot of modifications to the face and rewired the body for rigging.
Then, I wanted to try a new way to make the character’s hairstyle.
1. I first made a rectangle.
2. Divided the rectangle into several parts and then exported its UV.
3. Used Photoshop to draw the UV texture.
4. Imported the texture into Maya, then divided and reorganized the rectangle, so that I had a variety of hair strands.
5. Evenly placed the hair on the character’s head and made it fit the character model.
This is the final effect in MAYA：
