I already posted my submission here once awhile back and made changes, but it's definitely worth getting more feedback before I submit. That said, here it is.

Tons better. I'd "Conform the Normals" against a proxy mesh of the fur polygons.

There's a better visual explanation here in this tutorial. Specifically look at the section where he uses a mesh to conform the normals of the hair planes to the normals of the mesh.

Also, clean up the lines and curves that your armor makes. It looks wobbly.

Oh yeah, def going to fix that armor alignment also I see some of the armor is going into the arm. I'll fix that too.. and as far as the other part about fur, I'm guessing that will help give the shadows created by the fur a more uniform look? not sure what you mean

It'll soften the separation that you have between your fur planes. Right now, there are some HARD shadows going on.

that is what I thought, thanks. will definately be applying that, I thought the shadow was too harsh as well just didn't know you could actually adjust that problem, thanks!

@Brian
I use 3ds max, what do you think about using this script for transfering vertex normals? http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/normal-thief

Sounds like it should do the job. Have you given it a try, @diglett ?

The affected areas weren't just the arm
