An interesting look at a Softimage ICE framework developed by Ahmidou Lyazidi for the easy creation of fur on polygon meshes. Ahmidou Lyazidi provides some details on the framework:

  • The systeme is based on two clouds, one for the guide, and one to be rendered
  • I’m also using a custom “reference frame” faster than the
  • current attribute
  • The combing is done with a vector field driven by curves
  • Almost all parameters can be modulated by weight maps.
  • The yellow lines are collision feedback
  • And the dynamic is spring based
