After I finally resolved the computer-crashing-while-rendering issue, I got some renders of my first attempt to give my average Siderian buddy some fur. I’m still quite a n00b at it and that shows. The hair in the mane and tail is way too stiff like as if the Siderian got zapped. The two layers of fur intersect each other in the mane and it looks messy. The whiskers became way too stiff when I tried to make this render able… However, I like the shader that to created this black fur and I like the smooth part on the body and shoulders.
Generally speaking - the particle system to create hair requires a lot of just practicing to get a good feel for it. But since this is a messy first attempt, I’m not satisfied yet and I will practice a lot more. I’ve found some very helpful tutorial/course to create realistic fur and I’m currently redoing all the fur on the Siderian.
So I decided to post this first attempt so that I can later compare it with is a MUCH better version whenever I’m finished with the tutorial series.
