hypnos

hello , i have been wondering about how to achieve a FUR effect on a game character and whats the different methods and the pros and cons for each methode
by FUR effect i mean the fuzziness that surrounds the silhouette ... is it a shader or some texture trick ? :poly141:

this is an example : Conker Live and Reload
