A furry question

Roninfang

I am kind of curious does anybody know how to get this kind of fur rendering?

only way i know how to do hair/fur etc etc is either as a texture map or using poly planes

I think it's a fur simulation like this one:

Also, there is this layered technique which was used extensively in Shadow of the Colossus:

Those characters are not in-game models, so they can use a high-res hair system, like Maya Fur. The wolf character was made by Polycount member b1ll, you could ask him how he did it.

If you want in-game methods:

I always liked the fillrate-heavy shells-of-alpha-blend technique. I think the first game I can think of that used it was Tekken Tag Tournament.
