hi fellow mayan; i need some help (of course). its about fur for a human character. when using maya fur, how do i actually choose where i want to place the hair, like on top of the head, because when i create a new fur description, it puts it on the entire surface. i tried reversing normals but it still does not compensate for accurate hair proportion, how can i place the fur accurately on the model's head?
i won't even bother with paint fx, i have discovered that it actually renders much slower than fur given appropriate settings. so please help guys, how can i put the fur where it's supposed to be, like the top of head ***only***, not entire surface. my last resort is to model the hair, which is not so bad, but it's my last option.
thanx in advance.
