Use Fur Presets
Maya includes a set of fur description presets
that you can optionally use as a starting point for various fur
types. Click the Preset button at the top of
the fur description Attribute Editor or open the
default Fur shelf (Windows only) to
access these presets.
In addition you can save the attribute settings
of a fur description as a Fur Preset using the Preset button
in the Attribute Editor. External
connections to the node (such as maps applied to attributes) are
not saved.
You can load Fur Preset settings into any fur
description, and blend Fur Presets to get new variations. You can
only delete Fur Presets you have created, not any of the Fur Presets
that ship with Maya.
See
Fur Presets for
a complete list of available Fur Presets and sample images.
NoteAfter you apply a Fur Preset, if the scale
of the fur does not match your scene, adjust the Global
Scale value accordingly.
