Description Continues from [link]

So here it is.
The least anticipated of all my techs. The Fur tutorial.



Ok, yes, it really is that crude. my fur effect technique actually isn't anything really spectacular. it's just the smudge brush and figuring how to use it.


har har.


Still not convinced that it's just a furry ball?
Well, perhaps the timeline of how I made that picture of Sol [link] may convince you......

Thanks. glad to know it can help someone

grass and hair

Snowfyre In reply to Deviant-ZAngel [2011-07-11 07:25:23 +0000 UTC]

Well, I use a slightly different tech for hair. But it uses the same tool, just for hair you need to stroke in the direction of the hair rather than away from a single point.

SImple but it works.

At least it is not slimy, like the ones out of my cat!

(There's the next tutorial, modeling wetness!

Snowfyre In reply to tbolt [2009-02-20 10:40:45 +0000 UTC]

Slime?
well, wish I knew how to make those effects

tbolt In reply to Snowfyre [2009-02-20 12:04:17 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm, maybe I could borrow the furball, and make it a slimy furball?

This could be a meme, take the ball and add an effect!

(Ok, I really need to get to work now! )

bronzetitan [2009-02-17 16:07:40 +0000 UTC]

Well the tech itself is very solid. I did not realize that it was that simple. This is something I had been doing, minus the two stage shading. It is still a very good reference though.

Snowfyre In reply to bronzetitan [2009-02-17 16:10:58 +0000 UTC]

Yes... my techniques are always ludicrously crude and simple. cause well.. I don't like to overcomplicate things.
