Fuzz
A set of compounds along with a script that automates the setup of this ICE based
system for realistic fur. Features automatic flow computation from a starting selection
of points, as well as paintable ridges (matting effect) and clumping of the fur.
After the initial application, the fur remains configurable, including curved based modification of the flow. This plugin is a good example of how to use scripting to deploy ICE based tools for users that don't have a deep knowledge of ICE. On the same topic, have a look at Paul's ongoing scripting tutorial series on his vimeo channel.
Post any renders you create with this plugin in the si-community thread linked below. Also available: An introduction video (with a tip bucket).
local backup: fuzz.zip (follow the included instructions to install)

I'm not sure. I'll probably keep tinkering with it. And if anyone has any requests, I like a challenge.El Burritoh wrote:That's awesome stuff, Paul! How far do you plan to go with it?
I initially did this mainly just as an exercise to learn how scripting works. The fur part was not initially my main concern. It just so happened that I had the idea of how to do "compression matting" along the way so I got enthused about making a new fur system incorporating that.

Re: Free Fur tools
Yep, this is da shit!
BTW Paul, I'm going to use this. I like doing animals so this will come in very useful some time in the future.
Thanks a ton!

Hi Paul,
Just curious, from what material do you start with for scripting in Si ?
Thanks

I really recommend "Technical Direction in XSI with Python Scripting with Raffaele Fragapane". its a very clear and well constructed courseNNois wrote:Hi Paul,

I also bought Jeremie Passerins cmfx tutorial, but although I'm sure will be very useful later on, found it slightly too hard for me to start with as a beginner.
I have also started making some free videos that are aimed at complete scripting newbies and may be useful, but I make mistakes as I go in them.
