Hi everyone, need a bit of advice please. I have the above mentioned package from 3D Universe via DAZ, a brilliant collection of happy, colourful, poseable little monsters that are not really scary for kids, however, I'd like to give them hair or fur, any ideas how I might achieve this please? Thank you for taking time to read this. Have a nice day.

Hi, I suppose using LAMH (Look At My Hair) would be one way. It is available at DAZ. You would need the full version and not the free viewer version to create the hair.

I believe there is another product there also called Garibaldi Hair.

Blacksmith3D (available here at Renderosity) has a new feature that can create hair in addition to all its other features.

There is also a set of fur shaders for DS which makes the figures look like they have fur, but without bogging your computer down as happens with dynamic hair. Be advised tho that the shaders are for iray and don't look right if you use them with 3dlight, so they will take a while to render, but the end result, if you do it right, is well worth the effort. If you're a Platinum Club member they're only $3.99 (about $15.00 otherwise), and you'll get 2 very large zips (about 600 MB each).

If you use the LAMH and use iray there is a addon that makes it work friendly with iray and fast rendering too

Its called Catalyzer

LAMH Catalyser only works with some fur presets that AM has adapted, it won't work with something you create yourself, but if you have the full player its still not that difficult to render in Iray but it is resource intensive.
