Caronte: Could you please post the .blend that you used to make the first pic? I’ve been trying to get my particles to come out like that without any luck. Thanks.

It’s the classic/cliché ball of fur:

The strands do look a bit flat. Maybe this would be possible with PyTex?

Bagration, that looks quite nice, flat strands or not. I’d love to see a furballed character animation… I bet it’d be cute.

new blender’s particles powered by makehair

JellyWerker · October 2, 2005, 5:58pm

looks good, but a bit thin, perhaps a base mesh under it to give body and shadow?

Gabio · October 2, 2005, 6:53pm

Too… uniform.
Need to work it a bit.

Gillan · October 3, 2005, 4:02am

the shadow ( and little difference) come out if raytracing and AO are activated

inktvlek · October 3, 2005, 4:05am

strangely enough that looks more like straws to me than hair… maybe turn up the transparency of the hairs?

Caronte · October 3, 2005, 6:58am

To get the best material for hair in blender:

Use Raytraced shadows
Use Tranparent shadows (TraShadow button in the hair material and in every material receivig the hair shadow)
Material anisotropic (Ashikhmin shader)
Use ZTransp button
Low the SpecTra slider near to zero
Alpha from 0.5000 to 0.0000 (Use a BLEND procedural texture and the ColorBand)

Wow, these particles are amazing :D. Had to test it myself.
Here is a hair test I did in 5 min.

Btw, does anybody know how to get particles to be sitting so straight at eachother like in this picture?

I got it from this site about the particles.

mohawk suzanne’s nice, but her hair floats above her scalp. it’s like a demonic toupee!

To get this buttons, you have to add the particle patch at https://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2896&group_id=9&atid=127

Roger · October 4, 2005, 12:44am

yeah I know, and I have the buttons, that’s not the problem, but still the blocks won’t sit as streight on top of eachother as in that pic you see…
