Question

I have seen metal/plastic/water/fire/… shaders for OpenGL.

However, it it possible to render something fur-like, say a stuffed animal / teddy bear in OpenGL (I know this is possible with renderman / ray tracers, but I want to do it in OpenGl).

If you have pointers to GLSl shaders for this, please point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

[I’m guessing the answer is no since fur requires more than just shaders — it almost requires creating geometry on the fly — but I’d love to be proven wrong)]

Answer 1

here is a nice tutorial about creating fur in 3d.
