making fur with particles

ok it will be a static particle system mind you. what i want to do is make fur for a santa hat, is this possible, if so how?

ok i have an idea.

make a mesh in the shape of the fur and add small halos to it then.
scale it up a bit.
and another time.
and again.
get my drift.

if you have a base layer of particles/halos that you can’t see through then you could make the strands rather thin.

i think it should work because if you scale by a small amount each time then it will look as though each is in a strand.

have fun (you have the christmas spirt too i see) :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
