Apply Fur

  1. Change the Material Type to the Fur.
    * Fur can only be previewed in the Interactive Render.
     
  2. Select one of the presets to express Fox, Mink, Angora, Sherpa and more.

Fur Parameters

  1. Set the fur parameters.
    Option Description
    Melanin Co nfigure saturation of the fur's original color.
    Hi     ghe r the Melanin value is, saturated the color is. On the other hand, lower the value is, light the color is. 
    PheoMelanin Configure how reddish the fur is. Higher the PheoMelanin value is, redder the fur is. 
    PheoMelanin value is applied in proportion to Melanin value, PheoMelanin value is not counted when the Melanin value is 0.
    Glossiness Configure shininess of the fur.
    When the light is applied to the fur, shinier it is with a higher value.
    Glossiness Boost Express coated fur.
    Glossiness adjusts intrinsic shininess of the fur whereas Glossiness Boost expresses the shininess from the fur finishing, like wax or coating.
    Higher the Glossiness Boost value is, the stronger the fur finishing effect is.
    Softness Express smoothness of the fur.
    Higher the Softness value is, smoother the fur is. On the other hand, the lower the value is, rougher the fur is.

Fur Gradation Color

  1. Apply the Fur Gradation Color by clicking the check box and set the gradation properties.
    Option Description
    Fur
    Gradation Color
    		 Color Select the mid and the tip color of the gradation.
     Position Adjust the length of the fur where Mid and Tip Color is applied.
    Interpolation Naturally blend the borders of tip, mid, and root colors.

Fur Base

  1. Set the Base properties.
    Option Description

    Length

    Configure the length of the fur. Higher the value is, longer the fur is.

    50.png Untitled.png

                            Length: 50                                                    Length: 10

    Thickness

    Configure the thickness of a single thread of the fur. Higher the value is, thicker the fur is.

    Untitled_1.png Untitled.png

                            Thickness: 10                                              Thickness: 0.20

    Bend

    Configure the bending strength of the fur. Higher the value is, more affected by the gravity and bends more.

    Untitled_3.png Untitled_2.png

                            Bend: 1.00                                                Bend: 0.20

    Taper

    Differentiate the thickness of the fur between its root and the end. Higher the value is, thinner the fur becomes toward the end. On the other hand, lower the value is, similar the thickness is between the root and the end. 

    Untitled_4.png Untitled_5.png

                  Taper : 1.00 (Thickness: 2.00)                        Taper : 0.00 (Thickness:2.00)

    Density

    Configure how fur are closely placed. Higher the value is, more dense the fur is. On the other hand, lower the value is, more scattered the fur is.

    50.png Untitled_6.png

                            Density: 1.00                                                Density: 0.20

    Segments

    Configure how many sections a single thread of fur is divided into.When the fur is long and has higher Bending value, the fur must have higher Segments value to express the Bending smoothly and realistically. However, for the short and straight fur, the Segments value is not as significant.

Fur Maps

  1. Use Base Maps to express different length, thickness, and density within a single Pattern.
    0 is multiplied to the Length, Thickness, and Density values when a Map is black. On the other hand, 1 is multiplied to the Length, Thickness, and Density values when a Map is white. 

    For example:
    map_3.png

You can easily generate the realistic Fur Cluster by controlling the length and bend direction.

 

    1. Open Fur Cluster Generator by clicking the Inner.png button.
    2. Generate the Fur Cluster.
      Properties
      		 Description
      Length     Cropping Map  

      Use the Cropping Map to apply different length within a single pattern.

      Mode 

      As a cropping map is grayscale, the length is determined based on the level of darkness (RGB) or the transparency (Alpha). 

      Transparent and black areas have Lowest Length, while opaque and white areas have Highest Length.

      Level

      Adjust intensity of gray tones. Increasing the value makes the cropping effect more obvious.  

      Low/High Length

      Adjust the shortest or longest fur length.
      Trimming    

       Intensity

      Trim the length from the edge to the center of the fur cluster. Higher intensity increases the difference in fur length from the edge to the center to create a sharper fur.

       Random

      Higher Random makes the clumps irregular, while lower Random makes the clumps consistent.

      Fur Cluster_5.png
      Bend Direction   Cluster

      Intensity 

      Adjusts the intensity of the fur bending in each direction. Higher intensity makes the fur clump more pronounced and dimensional.

      Fur Cluster_1.png

      Pores Density

      Adjust the pores density of the fur cluster. Higher density makes the clumps smaller and tighter, while lower density makes the clumps larger and more spread out.

      Fur Cluster_2.png

      Direction/ Intensity Random

      Adjust whether the bend direction is consistent or irregular.
      Detail Cluster

      The clumping of smaller sub-units within the cluster can be adjusted in the same way as the cluster.

      Relax

      Adjust the intensity of clumping in detail clusters while keeping each direction intact. Higher Relax makes the clumps loosen smoothly, as if gently combed out.

Fur Gravity 

  1. Set the Gravity properties.
    Option Description
    Force

    Apply the force of gravity.
    Vector

    Manually apply the Gravity value to each axis.


_Divider.png

Fur Curl

  1. Set the Curl properties.
    Option
    		Description

    Radius

    Configure the size of the curl.Higher the value is, larger the curl is. On the other hand, lower the value is, smaller the curl is.

    Untitled_8.png Untitled_9.png

                  Radius : 5.00 (Number: 5.00)                       Radius : 1.00 (Number:5.00)

    Number

    Configure the number of the curls. Higher the value is, more curls the fur has. On the other hand, lower the value is, less curls the fur has.

    Untitled_8.png Untitled_9.png

                   Number : 5.00 (Radius: 5.00)                      Number : 0.00 (Radius: 5.00)

Fur Variance

  1. Set the Variance properties.
    Option
    		Description

    Length

    Express uniformed or irregular fur length.Higher the value is, irregular the fur length is. On the other hand, lower the value is, uniform the length is.

    Thickness

    Express uniformed or irregular fur thickness.Higher the value is, irregular the fur thickness is. On the other hand, lower the value is, uniform the thickness is.

    Direction

    Express uniformed or irregular fur bending direction.Higher the value is, irregular the fur bending direction is. On the other hand, lower the value is, uniform the bending direction is.

    Gravity

    Express uniformed or irregular gravity effect.
    Higher the value is, irregular the gravity effect is. On the other hand, lower the value is, uniform the gravity effect is.

    Gravity value can only be applied when the Bending value is not 0.

    amazing!
    Is it going to be possible in the future to have multiple colors on each single fur? like, the root being white and the tip being red. That'd be so dope!
