It's easy to understand why fur is extremely problematic with its high density of objects and physical complexities, but somehow games have been rendering it for years! How could something so complex be so easily simplified?
Topics covered: Hair and its rendering complexities, shell texturing, half lambert, shell texturing applications, limitations of the technique, and overdraw
