Discover the Workflow for Creating Facial Hair Like Eyebrows in Maya Using Peregrine Labs Yeti

Youtuber Film Anim offers a peer into his workflow for creating eyebrows on a character in Maya using Peregrine Labs Yeti. Maya has some excellent internal tools for creating hair and fur, most recently Xgen offers interactive grooming and instancing that makes it ideal for creating hair, fur, feathers and more. Peregrine Labs Yeti provides a node-based toolset for instancing geometry and takes on a slightly different workflow.

Yeti has excellent integration with Maya and embraces a procedural workflow Users have the flexibility to create, change, animate and render using a customized procedural graph. Yeti grooming workflow doesn’t depend on surface topology or texture UVs. That allows for models to change without drastically affecting the grooms.

Unfortunately, due to IP issues, Peregrine Labs Yeti is available everywhere but the United States. If you are anywhere else and want to have a look at alternatives to Maya’s Xgen, have a look at Yeti.
