hippiearchitect Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 how would i use hair and fur to do that? would it allow me to do multiply roofs at differing sizes with the same end appearance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Branch Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Break up the primary form into 3 seondary forms (Ex: pyramid, cap, skirt) and then apply separate H/F modifiers to each one with so you can control each independently. You might be able to get away with mapping for the cap and pyramid forms (really depends on camera distance), but that bottom skirt will need something similiar to H/F. If you have never used H/F before, you might want to just play with it on a simple plane so you can get a feel for how it works. Good Luck...

adamf Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Can you not just do it in Photoshop you will probably end up with the best results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
