Flipped normals: Intro to xgen
Hey guys!
So heres another post that is way too late. That said, I made a xgen groom course for the lovely guys over at flipped normals. We released it back in December 2020 and the reviews so far have been pretty positive.
If you already have the course or are thinking about getting it, please feel free to send me any groom work you have done as well as any criticism on the course for me to consider in future series :)
There's a link to the course below!
