creating fuzzy cloth in real time

Olli.

hey guys what do you think would be the best way to achieve this in real time?:


(the fuzz on the gloves)

target engine would be ce3 if anyone is interested

They already have a cloth shader, check it out.

yeah i know about the cloth shader but the idea was getting the fuzzy silhouette as well.

I would use shells. You just have to create the right alphas. http://www.xbdev.net/directx3dx/specialX/Fur/index.php

That's gonna be hard, I would, as suggested by Arsh, to shell it, throw a couple of find at the tips and ends, and call it a day.

Although I'm not too sure how well the shader will work with that.

im pretty sure ce3 wont like having multiple translucent layers on top of eachother.. will try this nonetheless.. thanks for the help guys

Doesn't CE3 have a 'hard' mask option for the Alpha planes? Something which uses 1bit alphas and look really 'harsh' to say, may not look nice like hair with gradient alphas, but it will help sell the fuzz edges more and be cheaper.

Again, I don't use CE3 alot, so take what I say with massive amounts of salt.
