XGen Core Mentorship: Master Technical 3D Hair Grooming Foundations and Production Blueprints with Kaan Zorlu

The Foundation

XGen Core.

Build your technical blueprint. Master the industry-standard workflow in 4 weeks.

Precision by design.

Success in XGen isn't about trial and error; it's about a repeatable, professional pipeline. Core is built to strip away the procedural noise and replace it with a clean, production-ready system that works every time.

4-Week Technical Roadmap

Week 01

Pipeline Logic & Scene Architecture.

We focus on the "Clean Start"—Maya project structures, correct scene scaling for Arnold, and geometry preparation. Learn the invisible requirements of XGen Collections to ensure your scene remains stable.

Week 02

Guide Logic & Interpolation Flow.

Mastering the technical "Read" of the hair. We focus on strategic guide placement and interpolation, using regional masks and basic art-direction principles to establish a predictable silhouette.

Week 03

Distribution & Modifier Fundamentals.

Eliminating the "Tutorial Gap." We dive into primitive distribution, density masking, and the foundational modifier stack, focusing on how to build volume without bloating file sizes.

Week 04

LookDev & Render-Ready Assets.

Translate technical work into visual frames. We cover the aiStandardHair shader and basic Arnold lighting, concluding with optimization and caching workflows for production stability.

Build the foundation.
