The MayaFur.inc file I have been working on is ready, and can be downloaded
here:

http://www.getinfo.net/douge/downloads.htm

Basically, it is a set of macros for POV that mimics the way fur is done in
Maya.  More info can be found in povray.news-submissions, but I wanted to
include a sample render here for those that haven't seen it.

Very nice effect :) It is a mesh? Or union of splines? 
Does this fur take long to render?

Bravo. Great stuff. Is that demo scene included in the zip archive?
thanks very much,

The fur itself is a mesh of smooth triangles.  The length of the rendering
time depends on what options you use... if you use triangle texture
interpolation, have 100,000+ hairs, and use radiosity, it can take quite a
while (I ran one for 3 days with TTI, radiosity, and 400,000+ hairs).  With
a standard POV texture it renders at the same speed as many of the grass
macros (like Gilles makegrass).

I included a cat as the demo scene... more challenging to get the fur
coverage right.

The sample reminds me more of coral.

Actually, I'd love to see the code for the scraggle example as I am very
interested in modeling Japanese textiles, and this could be a good start. Is
it available?
thanks,
D.

I'll see if I can hunt it down, it might be on one of the other computers.
