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

you want to link.
