Could you tell me the ways to do any model in maya using measurements mam , because recently I applied for 3d modeling WFH job they gave a test file and in that criteria they told to do in measurements with exact details what they have given in ref image without textures..I am not familiar with measurements method modeling...And tell me the simple ways to do any type of models in maya without any doubts and how to approach each and every model seeing in ref images....Right now I am student and learning VFX and Animation so it could be very helpful to me for the upcoming days to practice it and well versed in it mam ..I hope you will see this comment and reply to me with hope...❤

The shader is no good for that kind of art.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate your perspective on the shader's compatibility with this style of art. It's actually a deliberate choice to use this specific shader as it is meant to enhance the stylized nature of the hair in this particular scene. I believe it adds a unique texture and depth that aligns with the overall artistic vision. I'd love to hear suggestions for alternative approaches! :)
