This masterclass introduces new fur & hair grooming features in Houdini 16.5. The new features are first introduced individually, then put to good use in an examples project that simulates wet fur, with the fur being driven by velocities of a flip simulation. This also shows manipulation of wire simulation attributes as well as modifications to the hair generation in wet areas.

    That would get quite annoying after about 20 minutes, I think.

    All good - There is plenty of tutorials which teaches how to edit hair and fur, but why no one show how to set up animations for fur or hair.
