Title : Furry ball effect
Author : Beaker
Posted : 1+ years ago

Description : Creates the effect of fur on nearly any mesh.
Be warned: it's not particularly fast (when compared with doing it with vertex shaders - <a href="http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=demo_wolfman" target="_blank">nVidia Wolfman</a>).

Although not essential, the demo uses vertex alpha to enhance the effect.

(Create a splattered/stippled high-contrast image to use as the texture. Experiment!)

Hey, this is cool. I have been randomally trying non-standard textures and getting interesting results.
