Good day. Any tips on shading wet fur? I mean soaked like taking a shower. So far I'm getting very nice results as dry fur.

Should I apply a mantra surface, or stick with the default hair shader.

I'm having trouble getting the water layer.

Maybe I need to render the hairs as tubes. How do we do that? Would I have to create a new fur procedural ?

At the moment I'm using pbr which gives me decent render times and results for dry fur. Should I try deep shadows?

BTW I'm using H 13, because v14 is unbearably slow for combing.

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Set the clumping way up, and play with specular settings.
