I assume so but I thought I’d better check.

Cheers,

[B]Hey, great progress so far. The model definetly looks like a ferret. That was the first thing that popped into my head before I even read the posts. It shouldn’t be a problem though because the Mink and Ferret are very closely related. All you’d really have to do to change it from a ferret to a mink is make the eyes smaller and the tail bushier. As far as fur, any fur and hair is allowed as long as it’s geometry so as long as maya’s fur is geometry or can be converted to geometry it should be fine. I’d pro’'ly keep all the fur on a seperate layer though so you could submit a version with and without the fur.

Just my 2 cents [/B]

cheers espaki,
any idea if thet is a yes or a no? :wink:

As long as the fur or hair is actual geometry and not a post-render effect. For example I have hairs on my BoB but each one is a modified cone. The easiest way to tell if a hair or fur will qualify is if it can be fully seen in the viewport without having to be rendered then it should be OK.

Of course you’d have to get an answer from a moderator to be sure.
