heyas; well, the main problem occurs between the texture and the transparency. brycetech's fur technique uses overlaping conical shapes, randomly rotated (to prevent tiling). they use a round trans map, and every cone uses the same transmap. since they are all the same material, they must also use the same colour and/or texture. which then means, you can't have a black cat with a white tummy (for example). actually, you could, if you use something like the grouper tool and cut the cones into material zones. back, belly, tail, etc. but if you want spots or stripes, forget it. and, of course, forget having the conforming fur take the same texture as the base animal. there's no way you could trans-map it, if you lined up all the leg cones to use the leg part of the cat uv map, and all the tail cones to use the tail part... so that's the state of the fur these days. brycetech has updated his overlapping cone methodology for fur to get the fur coat and boa and stuff. but they still all use the same texture for each bit of 'fluff,' if i'm not mistaken.
