Yet another MayaFur test.  I have the initial placement macro working (it
aligns properly to the surface normal vector now), and the incloination is
working.  An inclination of 0 means each hair is fully erect (perpendicular
to the surface), and an inclination of 1 means each hair is tangent to the
surface.  The attachment was just one of the tests that looked kinda cool...
looks sort of like a shag carpet bunny.

nice effect. Is the bunny CSG?

Having just watched "Princess Mononoke" for the first time, it reminds me of
the boar.

It's a demon bunny!  Just add red eyes...  ;-)

Cool!

give it another colour and some tomato sauce. Then it will look really tasty
:)

Nice Pic BTW.

Perhaps I'm crazy but the word "maya" gives me the creeps. A neutral name
wouldn't sound as if POV needs help by importing features from competitive
software. Ok, I AM a bit crazy, but so what...

It looks nice, really.  :o)

Hadn't thought about that.  Technically they aren't really competitive
packages... one is free, and the other is about 5 grand.  The fur output
from maya is really slick though, to be honest... so I modelled my code
after it.  It uses the same variables, so essentially you can take the Maya
variables and plug them right in.

The rabbit is a triangle mesh I converted from a 3ds file.  The fur
placement routine requires a PCM file, made with Warps mesh compressor.  It
then parses through the PCM file and places the fur on a per triangle basis.

Wow!  That is some very nice fur.  Have you played around with some form of
mapping for where fur should go on the critter yet?  I spent a couple of
minutes the other day making a proof of concept for the eval_pigment
method.  I could post my code if you want but its kinda messy.  Plus from
what I have read it would be faster to do with functions if you are so
inclined.

By the way nice model, dust bunny...  dusting bunny?
