Grooming, methods for real time realistic or stylized hair and fur

Hi

Have you got any methods for real time realistic or stylized hair and fur that you can share or have knowledge about. Also any techniques for physics influenced hair in Unity, UE4, Lumberyard and so on.

Here are some examples

NeoFur (I know, they stopped development in 4.6, I am crying as well, this was so good! just thought I would share what was an amazing tool)

where could one get Neofur nowaday ?
I did find a copy of it but it's on UE 4.11. And I can't right click in that version for osme reasons.
I'd really like to see how they get the motion  going it's a custom shader it seems.

Is Neofur the one that used 32 shells? 

Unless they did the impossible there's no way that's a viable option in an actual game

I think they pulled development on that tool so they coud focus on making a game? 

Also have you looked into strand-based rendering and physics simulation for photo-realistic digital hair?
