Dforce Question

digitell

I am rather new to Dforce and am working with this product:

https://www.daz3d.com/daz-house-cat-with-dforce-hair

I am using the Siamese texture fur and am wondering if there is a way to make the fur longer? If so is there a tutorial someone could point me to or an easy instruction on how to do it?

Any guidance will be very appreciated and thank you in advance!

Go into the Surfaces pane with the hair selected, and scroll down below the normal dForce parameters. There is a PR section and a PS section. Find the "scale" parameter, and increase that.

Thank you Gordig!! I will do that! Many thanks!

I played around with it a little bit. The PR hairs are set to 200% scale by default, so I did a render with all default settings:

Then with PS hairs at 100% (it's 40something% by default):

Then at 200%:

edit: you can also edit the map attached to the scale parameter(s) to control the length of the fur across the body, so if you want a really fluffy torso but less fur on the legs and paws, that's how you would do that.

And just for goofs, I also doubled the PR hair scale to 400%.

These renders are awesome! YES..I found the scale dial and got very similar to yours..with the ears..I am thinking first do it with the short hair and then do it with the longer hair and use the ears off the short haired one..because those hairy ears! LOL! Thank you so much for helping me with this!

So will that longer hair dforce naturally when I try it or is the look in the images what you get after dforce? Only asking cause I'm not seeing a pic of the hair laying down, only standing out.

I didn't try simulating the fur, those renders are just for illustration.

I am thinking you must run it thru the simulation once you make adjustments to it.
