Grizzly Bear Hair

This is a bear that i modeled on Zbrush and groomed, rigged and muscle rigged on Maya. This was my final project for university and i am pretty happy with the outcome. I could do way more to this model but i haven't got enough time and i need to move on to other projects.

I first created the model in zbrush using zshperes to build the basic shape. I Then built up the model by looking at bears with wet fur to get an idea of shape. Once i had the body i created the eyes and teeth by looking at real skull and eyes. once i had the model i imported it into maya. when i had it in maya i first rigged and applied weight (this stage slightly messed up due to glitches with maya, it does however look presentable). once the the bear was rigged i animated it by looking at real footage of a bear and breaking it down into frames, which i then duplicated in maya. once the animation was down i then created a muscle system which caused quite a few problems. I then added hair using xgen and groomed.
