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

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 :)

Thanks for your advice Cath -- now off to play :) Jeremy

Looks like yer on a roll, Mec! Great stuff!

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.

Here's my attempt with Sixus1's Lil' Devil.

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:)

Awesome! You really do justice to Poser 5 :D

Wow - great inspiration for playing in the material room! bookmark

Cath, you have got me experimenting with different P5 nodes and effects that I was intimidated by and hesitated for so long. Thanks for being my inspiration! Do you have any idea how much we missed you around here? Hugs, Tim.

THANKS!! These are so COOL! Don't you ust LOVE P5's material room?! It's the BEST part of P5 IMO!

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.

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

_________________________________________________________

"Surrender to what it is - Let go of what was - Have faith in what will be "

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.

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

Where is the Fur Materals.

???? Can I have a link please.

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

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.

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.

You could save the good threads to your harddisk.

My hard drive isn't that big and I'm always fighting for space on it. The threads are here and can be found, if the search engine were working as it should instead of having been 3/4s disabled. :(

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.

So you missed this thread about Cath's troubles I take it?

She lost everything in a fire about a week or so ago :( And she didn't have any fire insurance :( There are a couple threads about what happened.

How horrible. Any way we can help her out?

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

This is so cool. Hi Cath.....(waving and jumping up and down) have not seen you in ages. Thanks for these tips. Sharen

I know this is a old thread but it is the only one I can find on fur done this way, just one wee problem. None of the pictures are showing :( Can some one help me out here?

Is there a way to fix the link's and images? Everything is dead!

Is there a way to fix the link's and images? Everything is dead!

Probably can't be fixed because the data likely no longer exists. From context, it appears that the concept is using Firefly micropoly displacement to give the appearance of short fur. The displacement can be driven by the noise node or a height map (tiled many times over). The artifact shown by lkendall is due to the change of surface normal occurring at polygon boundaries. With the current version of Poser, subdividing the shirt a few times would fix that.
