Here's the first version of my fur generator. Note that it requires the
Superpatch. I have tried to document the parameters, but if somethng is
unclear, feel free to ask. Also, if you have any comments or suggestions for
improvements, I'd be glad to hear them. Of especial interest would be ideas
for improving the Wind calculations...
Attached are 4 files:
fur.inc - the fur generator's sampling macro; this is the one you have to
#include in your scene;
worm.inc - macro for creating the hairs (it is called from within fur.inc);
admacros.inc - a few additional macros required by fur.inc and worm.inc (but
useful elsewhere, too);
example.pov - a simple example scene;

Enjoy!

hi margus,

the example.pov failed when i attempted a render:

#local PosMin = min_extent <----ERROR

fur.inc:48  error:  cannot assign uninitialized identifier.

i copied all the files.  do i need to read all the documentation
and change a few lines before i run the example code?

thanks, miker

  This looks like superpatch code to me.

-- 
main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):5;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

You cannot use the fur macro in official POV. You need the Superpatch (a custom
version of POV). It has many useful features. I suggest you try it out.
You can download it from here:
