Hi here another shader for the fur, it looks much more nice as only using the displacement. with this shader you can blend the fur together with the textures or not, it is up to you. Please wait with reply until I upload all information about this and tricks. Thank you for your attention and I hope you get new inspirations :) Cath

Thanks, Cath. Nice work. I am wondering if it is possible to make the fur "longer" - maybe more like hair ? regards, Andrew

Mec4D ( ) posted Tue, 15 February 2005 at 3:13 PM

Thanks :) you can make it longer but not like a hair. in the image above you can see that you can use the color textures as the color base for the fur, it works very fine with the light and in darknes you will never miss your cat anymore :)

Jeremy, you can't use the Outer_Color red in this situation when the Inner is grey, this way you lose the hairy effect. try black as Inner or light -white as Outer :) Gareee... I wake up after 6 months of not see Poser :) lol don't wonder! I had my ideas a long time ago now only try to let it work better. THANX:)

Thank you :)) I just work on a new Article-tutorial regarding the Refraction and refraction nodes in Poser5 Material Room, I will publish this one on ym website and let you know about later today. It is a very interesting article with many extras, so check out! Thank you Tim very much, I can't imagine better welcome abck as I got! it give me so much indpiations as well!! and ernyoka1 you are right P5's material room It's the BEST part of P5 IMO! lol and here I go to prove you that you can create every material in Poser5 Material Room you imagine.. I spend almost 12 hours for every material checking in any situation to get the best effect I can :) see you when I see you Hugs! Cath

Cath, I tried connecting the image map all 4 ways. I still don't think he looks very furry. I'm going to play with the lights to see if there's a setting that makes him a little brighter.

Mec4D ( ) posted Wed, 16 February 2005 at 10:34 AM

see light in the first post, in any way it looks not what we have to get, I tested on any animal I have with success and the same settings as above! hello Jeremy you plug the noise into bump, it have to be pluget into displacement!!! try the setting from Post number 10

Here's an update with the noise attached to the displacement. The map is attached to the inner with the inner white and outer black. I'll reverse those colors and see how it looks.

PapaBlueMarlin ( ) posted Wed, 16 February 2005 at 11:12 AM

The map is attached to the inner with a grey inner and white outer. When I used a black inner the map completely disappeared.

Mec.. when you open the refraction tutorial, you cannot increase the window sized to full screen (it opens just a tad smaller then the full size it should be width wise.) Just a FYI... Also, it's a great tutorial, but it would be nice to save it locally, in html format, or a pdf or such.

Cath, I forgot to say that the settings in post 23 are the same as post 10 with the wood displacement, just switching colors and where the maps is connected. Post 26 has the noise displacement and the same settings as post 1 except for the inner color being different. Jeremy

I suggest you give this to DAZ. Not only would it be easier to find but, your get 25$ at the same time. This is the most usefull tutorial I have found and the easiest. Awsome job with it. Akura

There are no actual fur materials to download, the tutorial shows you how to make the fur work.

Gareee ( ) posted Tue, 30 August 2005 at 4:47 PM

With any luck, people will start making them available in the new shaderspider format...

Furry Buck on a Snowy Plain! Thanks for all the tips folks! I don't see why folks don't share their material settings in Poser 6 mt5 files. You you have to be careful adding nodes to images with texture maps but it's helpful having the node settings to share in the mt5 files.

Thanks Lou for spending some time walking me through the Material room :) I am actually starting to understand it a little, and I decided to try this thread. I'm ecstatic with the results :)

Question.... How do I save my settings so I don't have to write them down, or take a screenshot, or have to redo them from scratch again?

Save them to the Materials Library by clicking on the "+" button.

If you have P6 you can save all materials in one collection.
If you have P5 you'll only be able to save individual materials for later use.

Gareee ( ) posted Sun, 18 September 2005 at 7:39 AM

With the new shader spider, you can also connect just the fur effect nodes, and save that as a partial shader. Then you can relaod that for another character and apply it only to all surfaces names including "skin" or a naming of your choice.

Sorry, just renaming some threads with titles that I can remember, seeing that the search function has been essentially rendered useless other than for searching out subject titles and user names.

Looking at this now is way less foreign to me since I have had time to experiment with nodes. I can't believe this was a year ago! We don't hear much from Catharina these days. I was wondering what she is working on recently and how she is. Anybody heard from her? I miss her.

I realize that this thread has not been active for a while, it was referred to by Acadia in the following thread:

http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2121224&page=2

The technique of using a noise node as a displacement map to create a fur or hair like texture is fascinating, but I have encountered a problem. I am getting a checkerboard effect that seems to be related to the underlying mesh. While this has an interesting appearance, it is not uniform, and it is an annoying artifact.

Has anyone else encountered this? Do you know of a way to suppress this effect?

Thanks,

LMK
