Hello Phrosting,

I had a bit of a play around with fur (anything to distract me from what I'm meant to be doing!!) and came up with the attached image.

1: paint the polar attribute so that the fur above the bare patch points upwards.

2: comb the fur direction upwards above the bare patch.

3: paint the inclination above the bare patch as needed.

My effort's not brilliant but I didn't spend very long on it, a little patience and care should get the results you're after.

Steve's right about bumping up the display quality if your machine can handle it.

Good luck,

Mat
