Making of the Mammoth: part 1

This is the first part of the "Making of the Mammoth" video tutorial.

As you'll see from the movie, using deformers is such a cool way to develop and model a basic fur model very quickly. And combing, scaling and cutting hairs is just straightforward...

The movie has been encoded at 3X the normal speed, so the part where I use the shave groups material editor happens too fast: don't worry, I'm going to show how that works in Part 2.
So I hope you'll enjoy this movie and stay tuned because part 2 is due very soon!
