A Beginners Guide to Building a Fur Network

Maya Fur is a tool increasingly seen in animation work throughout the industry in recent times, from adverts to such feature films as Monsters Inc. and Shrek. As most computer-generated films strive to impress the audience with realistic special effects. The means to create these effects become more and more complex and technical to accommodate the demand, causing more knowledge to be required to use them. This knowledge may not however be possessed by the newer users of the software, but with the desire to create the final effects, problems arise.

An Investigation into Cartoon Fur

When being set a project which aims to push you to test ideas you have or try and solve problems that you have come across, there is a decision to be made. Do I start by looking at this project as an entity of its own or do I look to link this to an already on going project. I decided to look at the latter of these two options, linking this project with a comical piece of work I am producing for my major project.
