Attach and detach fur

You can attach fur to surfaces automatically when you create the fur description or you can attach it manually after you create a description.

You can attach more than one fur description to selected surfaces. You may want to do this if, for example, your model requires fur with different lengths or textures. For example, a horse’s body hair is shorter and stiffer than the hair on its mane.

To attach a fur description

1. Select the surface(s) you want to attach a fur description to.
2. In the Rendering menu set select Fur > Attach Fur Description > FurDescriptionName, where FurDescriptionName is the name of the fur description you want to attach.
   Note

   If you attach more than one fur description to a surface, only the feedback for the last assigned fur description displays. For details on switching fur feedback, see Hiding and showing fur feedback.

To detach a fur description

1. Select the surface you want to detach a fur description from.
2. In the Rendering menu set select Fur > Fur Description (more) > Detach > FurDescriptionName, where FurDescriptionName is the name of the fur description you want to detach.
   Note

   Detaching a fur description does not delete it—it merely removes its association with the selected surface.
