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.
