”Shave is a breeze to use .. it's saved our skin several times.”
-Hugues Giboire
Just Add Monsters

“Shave and a Haircut 2 has made creating and rendering CG hair an absolute pleasure for us, both on past projects and our current show Hellboy . It's entire range of hair-based effects from scraggly beards to full length hair, come out looking beautiful with surprisingly minimal render times. Shave will remain an integral part of our digital double production pipeline for many projects to come.”
-Kevin Ballie
The Orphanage

“Shave did an awesome job in helping us create the hair for Mystique's transformations in X-Men 2. No other option came close to the realism and versatility of Shave and a Haircut. It's fast, powerful, and super easy to use”
-Erik Paynter
Kleiser/Walczak

“Trumps Alias's own fur solution” -Computer Graphics World

“I hate computers” -Matt Hendershott
