Can anyone tell me is it possible to make fur in p6.....I have a tail that I've retextured using a seamless tile from freebies and it's look rather flat so I wondered is there a way to make it "bushy" in poser......I know I can do it postwork but I wondered if I could do it in poser......

thanks ever so much

:O)

little dragon had a bushy tail thing here as a freebie, but I don't recall how he did it. maybe when he comes back from his current assignment.

Can't you use the hair room for that, I did some nice grass once in the hair room, I'm sure you could do something in there for fur!!

I'd either try the hair room as suggest by fixxer or try with displacement. Maybe a spots node.

It depends a bit on the style. Bristle-like, such as a bee, is easier than something which tends to lay against the skin, such as hair of many instances of fur. A slight displacement can make a big difference, but any direction in the surface, just as with wood-grain, has to take the UV mapping into account. Little_Dragon's Bushy Tail uses transmapped outer layers. There are some good Furrette 2.0 texturesets which use bump/displacement techniques. Poser 6 has some extra shader nodes which improve skin rendering, and I suspect sub-surface scattering could pay off on fur--just as with skin, some light penetrates into the fur before being reflected out.

thanks everyone..i landed up using the bushy tail by little_dragon......
