I'm looking for some plugins (free: better) or ways to make hair or simulate some animal fur in max.

Any idea to achieve this?

Go to http://www.max3dstuff.com/ . Click on "Plugins". Peter Watje has a hair plugin for free. I think you must have either Max 3 or 4. Usage of the hair program on a model can be seen at Michael Koch's site-->

You can also make hair with geometry and transparancy maps, animate it with a cloth simulator.

And you can make a simple fur fake with a falloff map and some noise.

If you can't find a plugin that works or is free, then try those options. Not as much control or quality, but it may work for your shots.

Hey 3DZealot, (or somebody) Can you tell me where can I find some tutorials explaining the techniques you said (opacity maps, noise with falloff... and so on).

I need more explanation to understand that stuff.
I'll appreciate it a lot.

Thanks guys.

Try that one. For fur, you can play with placing a falloff map in the translucency and extra lighting channels in the ratrace material. There are some more tricks, but I'm in a hurry. I'll try to post more later...Maybe a little demo scene. BTW, what Version of Max are you using?

:D

Hi all,
I'm also looking for a good Max hair plugin. I tried the Shave and a haircut trial version for Maya and I really like the workflow and the results.
Does anybody know when it is released for Max?
Cheers,
Conni

I put up a thread about modelling hair just a few days before this one, and tried several ones. PW hair particles isn't totally bug-free, but when you figured out how it works, it's a really fast way to create hair in Max.

Btw, Peter Watjes Hair plug-in is a particle Systems, which means you can use space warps like wind and gravity to animate the strands.
