render fur
is there anybody ever know how to render a thick fur rug?

creation by Vincenzo Mayer is very good, but this render has a reflection on its fur.

I'm sure Vincenzo Mayer has the same question
permission to using your creation Vincenzo Mayer biggrin
hope you don't mind tongue

Re: render fur
I know of a way to add fur, or rather fur like polygons to a model, but it increases render times to a degree which you will have to wait days for a high quality render. It would likely be better to mimic the fur with a texture, and just make sure the surface is matt smile

Re: render fur
The easiest and most stable way I know of is Google Sketchup. If you have Sketch, you can download a plug in here....

You put in parameters for length, thickness, and plushness.

To make fur with obj files, it depends on what program you use. Most programs for obj files, you will have to manually make each fur strand editing the frame, as I haven't found a stable plug in to use.

3ds does have some plug ins and if you have 3dstudio, you can make fur within the the dialogs for the program. But you would have to search google, and find a stable plug in. I haven't found any, but I rarely use 3ds.

Re: render fur
And why not exporting at Collada format from Sketch Up? At least it's available in its free version...
