Houdini 16 comes with a redesigned set of Fur and Hair tools. This masterclass introduces the new workflow and techniques from the ground up. We look at the structure and overall design of fur object node, a new set of procedural SOP tools, dynamics and rendering. We also show how the general power and flexibility of SOPs can be used to design fur and hair styles.
