An early test of a fur generator I'm working on (inspired by Ken's toupee
image :) It's still a mess, but I'm quite happy with the results (i.e. I'm
amazed that I finally got the thing to parse at all). It relies on the
Superpatch's trace() function and currently works best with roughly
spherical shapes (hence Shaggy looks like a furry loaf of bread)
BTW, each hair is a "worm" shape from an earlier experiment. Here they
consist of 3 segments with some randomness in shape/height/orientation.
The second image shows Shaggy in a major headwind. Wind effects are sth.
that I'm stil trying to improve.
Better examples could probably be presented. But until then, any suggestions
/ comments?

When I first saw it I thought it looks like Bill Clinton. Maybe this
could be his mascot!
Nice fur!

Next time I throw down the gauntlet, challenging you to a duel, I'm going to
have to first provide a higher threshold of artistry for you people to exceed.
Each time I finaly figure out how to do something I have as yet seen done,
or done well, a couple of days later work shows up here making my contributions
look pitiful. Sigh !
In regard to your Pets:
These are sure to give those cabbage patch dolls and beenie babies thingy's
a run for their money. Be sure to have these marketed before Christmas this
year. The home television shopping network would also find loving homes for
these cute, affectionate, and lovable little creatures (for low modest price).

Wind effects are what?

It does look a little "fuzzy" but it could just be compression at that
distance, it's hard to tell. I'm rather amazed, too.
Shaggy (tm), he's got the best traits of a dreeble(tm?), a hedgehog, and
a scrubby brush combined! ;>

Hey now! Don't be sad :)
You still hold the number of hairs record: Shaggy only has about 5000 of
them. An average human has about 100K hairs, but I think 25K would suffice
for most images.

Bleah! Beanie babies! Being a XOOM member I constantly get mails about price
cuts on beanie babies. Ironically, I don't even know what exactly is a
beanie baby (nor do I think I want to know)

Funny you should say that - it's exactly what I thought. It seems I have
unwittingly reproduced the hair of Mr. William Clinton...
