Fur Based Texturing

Support Materials and Textures

Hey,

I am new to 3D modelling, I just started under a month ago. I am working on this game character trying to create a more realistic fur texture. I have used normal maps to get to this point but would like to know if there is anything else I can use to get a better result. Below I have included a picture of the character and the map I used:

Quick update, was able to fix the texture to look more realistic using photoshop:

Both helped me get a better look.
