I've heard of using fur for terrain but could never find a good tutorial for it. Thanks so much for this, I think it looks awesome and realistic! You did not mention it, but the dark undertone of the original fur colour gives it an amazing muddy look.
Thanks! I think the brown fur did work well with the swamp theme, but golden fur has been my go to for grasslands recently...get a really amber waves of grain feel to your board.
Just watched this again. Planning on a BIG swap/wetlands project. This is an awesome technique and will using it this weekend as a weekend project. Thanks again for a great vid!
I have say Baron you did an outstanding job of recreating a swamp. The overall color scheme of the water looks very realistic and the whole model has the look and feel of a swamp. I learned quite a bit about coloring grass and adding clear resin. I am looking forward to your next tutorial.
Great job! The idea with that fur is absolute madness!!! It looks like real grass! I think i would try for the first time to build some terrain. Thank you for your videos and tips!
The whole project looks wonderful (well done!), but I especially love that paint-and-comb technique for the fur. Wow... that looks amazing, and so realistic! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! :)
Another well done vid very ingenious. I've been mentioning you in comments hope some people come your way and check out your channel and subscribe. You are doing very unique things and I hope people discover you.
It's the combing that gets rid of the clumps which causes it to dry stiff. If you don't comb enough that will be the result so I usually err on the side of over combing.
awesome terrain! what kind of airbrush do you have? I'm looking to get one to make my life easier but there are so many kinds :( I don't wanna end up buying a trash brush and compressor
Thanks! I was in the same position where I wanted to ensure I had quality materials so I sprung for the iwata eclipse hp-cs and the sparmax TC-2000 compressor. Both are expensive but if you are in the states you can get them from hobby lobby with their daily %40 coupon. I highly recommend them both!
Mostly it is synthetic and much cheaper. Also, not sure how well regular fur would take paint, but I'll have to give it a try with the real stuff some day.
He said it's "faux fur" (which tells us it's fake/synthetic), and then by saying "grizzly bear fur" he's telling us exactly which type he's using for this project. Faux fur is not all the same. It can simulate many different types of real animal fur (a lot of which would not work for this type of project).
