It started life as a hedgehog (Porcupine for non-euros ? ;)- a simple
cone+sphere job long time ago. Probly must have uploaded it somewhere
at some time.

Yes, mpov's trace would be useful but I prefer to damage my grey
matter with official pov, never seem to get the time to explore mpov
:(

#declare Hair = // cone{ 0, 0.04, x*1, 0 // Alternative
   union{ triangle{ <0,0,-0.02>, <1,0,0>, <0,0,0.02> }
          triangle{ <0,-0.02,0>, <1,0,0>, <0,0.02,0> }
   }
// With this complicated texture:
pigment{ rgb <0.2,0.1,0.05> } finish{ diffuse 0.8 }

Will clean and post source to p.t.s-f, FurThing in p.b.i
