the Fur Parameters
Keynotes:
1. Melanin controls the saturation of the fur’s original color. The larger it is, the darker the hair is.

2. Pheomelanin decides how reddish the fur is. The larger the value, the more reddish and brighter the hair is.

3. Glossiness refers to the shininess of the fur. The higher the value, the shinier the highlight will be.

4. Glossiness Boost expresses the shininess from the fur finishing. The higher the Glossiness Boost, the stronger the fur finishing effect is.

5. Softness refers to the smoothness of the fur. The higher the value, the smoother the fur is.

6. Fur Gradation applies different colors on the root, middle, and tip of a single hair.

the Fur Shape
Keynotes:
1. The Base settings control the length, thickness, bending strength, Taper shapes, density, and bending smoothness of the fur.

2. Base Maps express different lengths, thicknesses, and densities within a single Pattern according to different grey scales.

3. Gravity controls which direction the hair bends.
4. Curl modifies the sizes and numbers of the curled hair.
5. Variance expresses the irregularities of the length, thickness, direction, gravity, and curl radius. The smaller the value, the more uniform the setting is.
