In this project, I focused on stylization with PBR textures. I wanted the result to feel like a semi-realistic take on a feature film, so I spent a lot of time dialing in the Look of both characters.

 

I found that Nausicaa's groom needed more shape control in the viewport, so I built a tool that created guides out of geometry in Houdini, and then attached those guides to a Yeti groom. Teto's groom was done fully in Houdini, combining elements of a fox, a squirrel, and a cat.
