Select which UV set to use for Fur (polygons only)
By default Fur uses UV set map1, but you can
link your fur descriptions to different UV sets on your polygonal
surface. For example, if you have different UV sets defined for
different projections, you can link the fur descriptions to the
UV set that gives the best fur result.
When you link a fur description to a UV set,
all the fur descriptions attached to the polygon are linked. You
cannot link individual fur descriptions to different UV sets.
To
link attached fur descriptions to a different UV set
- Select
the object with the fur description(s) you want to link.
- Select
Window > Relationship Editors >
UV Linking > Fur/UV to open the Relationship Editor.
The left panel lists all the fur descriptions
that are attached to the selected polygon.
The right panel lists mesh nodes with UV sets
for the selected polygon. If more than one polygon is selected,
only the last selected polygon is listed.

the left panel, click a fur description. All the fur descriptions
attached to the polygon become selected and in the right panel the
UV set the fur descriptions are linked to becomes highlighted.

the right panel, click the UV set you want to link the fur description(s) to.
