Steps to make fur

Support Materials and Textures
1

I was reading in the Release Log about making fur at:
http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-246/hair-and-fur/

I managed to get some fur on an object but I’m not clear on how to access the tools for editing the fur. I was hoping someone might know the basic steps.

probzably easier to follow wiht intro to tools available

In 2.46: Click the Set editable button in the Particle system buttons. Next, change from Object view to Particle mode, press N to bring up the Particle tools window.

Thanks DichotomyMatt, I didn’t get that the reference to “particle mode” meant there was a “Particle mode”! I just tried it, how cool!

Thanks RickyBlender, that PDF says Blender 2.50, is there a 2.50 coming soon? Or is this really 2.46 stuff? Thanks again, I’ll read through it.

I think the Tut was from a time when the Jahka particle rewrite was slated for 2.50. Thankfully, the new particle system made it into 2.46. So the ideals in the Tut are correct, but the screen-shots won’t line up to what you see in 2.46.

thath pdf is one of the best intro to hair for 2.46 not 2.50
which i think is the next release or not!

read it carefully it’s filled up of many details but after tht you shold know a hect of a lot for hair system

the only missing is how to do feathers with tht which i havent fond yet
if anybody know more about how to for feathers let us know about it

I dont think it was here, I think it was on the moddeling forum. “How to model an old pen”… hang on while I search…
