Day 6 | Shag Carpet

My attempts at making a shag carpet. The top one is just simple hair which probably turned out the best. The second two are using rope models, which ended up exploding my computer more than anything (Hence why I didn’t post yesterday). As you can see from the second render, using gpu, I think I literally ran out of memory. Before I ever attempt another particle system render like this I’m getting a better PC (Or using evee?).

On the up side, I’m more comfortable with the hair particle system settings. On the down side, using a rope model collection for the particle system ended up doing more harm than detail. It’s to small to really get the detail, but too detailed that my view started stuttering on me.

Lessons learned. Next time.
