However, you have procedural control over Root and Tip Anisotropic, Subdivisions, Sides and Radius.

Be clear what settings you need before you start - they can't be changed after you hit the Accept button.

The most important settings to get right when creating fur are MaxFibers, Coverage and Segments. There are a lot of functions and sliders in the FiberMesh settings. (In the process I removed the hotkey for Projection Master, which has the default hotkey Shift+G.) Repeat these steps for all limbs and desired polygroups. I've set Shift+G as a hotkey for this command. Group visible polygons via Tool > Polygroups > Group Visible. You can also invert your visibility by Ctrl+Shift-clicking and dragging on the document outside the geometry. Use the Select Lasso brush ( Ctrl+Shift-click and drag) and set it to hide polygons ( Alt).

Another great tool is the Select Lasso brush, which you can choose from the Brush menu. You can also grow and shrink visibility in Tool > Visibility (I've set hotkeys for this using + and -). I’ve set it to H.Īdjust the visible polygons by masking, inverting the mask (click on the document) and hiding unmasked polygons. You can set this to a hotkey by holding Ctrl+Alt and clicking the button, and pressing a key on your keyboard. Hide the unmasked polys via Tool > Visibility > HidePt. Go down to the lowest subdivision ( Shift+D) and use masking with Transpose and/or the Mask Pen to mask a limb.
