Varga Hair - Maya Issue

Ben_Roberts

Hey, not sure if this belongs here but for a small project the team wants a fuzzball (ball covered in fur pretty much), it's to run on a vita so the only viable method is alpha mapping and so far the best technique has been the Afro section on this tutorial as they require furry ball and what better than an afro (it's about half way down the webpage - cannot ctrl + f), however I'm not a user of Maya and I am currently stuck on the section where he says "select the inner faces and delete them" as I'm not entirely sure what he means and why it is required?

Whether you know of a better method or know what he means I greatly appreciate any help thanks

He's just that that after you extrude the edges of your sphere to make the planes, you an delete the faces of the original sphere (Since they'd be inside the skull anyway). Though if you're just making a furry ball you might want to keep the original faces instead.
