Inspired by Paul Smith’s Creating A Simple Fur System Using Strands In Softimage tutorials, Nika Ragua demonstrates how you are able to use some simple and rather clever techniques to have the MultiStrands in Softimage ICE appear to clump together.

Nika breaks down the process as emitting particles from a surface, and then clones them providing a scatter for them, and then emits strands from these clones particles, using the directional vector of the original particle to orient the clones to provide a simple orientation that will be the basis for the clumps. Clever!
