How to Make Fur in Blender

[@ibieiniid4240]

"I know that not everybody has Pro Lighting Studio, and frankly you don't need it." Andrew, you're the best kind of salesman. I mean that in a good way.

[@uwirl4338]

He shamelessly plugs every product he has but at the same he's so polite and honest about it. What even...

[@procrastinatingcartoonstm5130]

yep

[@jordanc.m.6735]

It usually annoys me when creators don't cut out the unnecessary parts of the video but you do it in an entertaining sort of way that gives your videos character

[@krypnot4817]

it feels like being in a class but 100 times better

[@MrrGNB]

actually brownian refers to brownian motion, which is the random movement of particles suspended in a liquid, or in other words it is physics way of saying squiggly

[@setheus5827]

And mine looks like something a cat coughed up

[@setheus5827]

It looks sick. Like a hamster with radiation poisoning

[@setheus5827]

I actually feel sorry for it. It looks at me like with bewilderment in its eyes. I know what Dr Frankenstein felt like now. What have I done ?

[@siqxyre8473]

i laughed alot more than i should have

[@theRPGmaster]

LOL! Can I quote that?

[@aprillouise46]

well at least now you can say you can make hair balls

[@randomname3669]

Everytime i see these videos: Oh a new tutorial, i dont have any time for this though. *watches the whole thing

[@blenderguru]

+Hakan Noel haha that's awesome to hear :) Glad it's somewhat endurable

[@jasonnathan1888]

I know right :) I still have Homework lol

[@ojanieno]

If you really don't have time to watch the entire thing, I recommend rewatching 15:48 several times.

[@procrastinatingcartoonstm5130]

cool

[@RogueSnowball]

I'd love to see an updated version of this tutorial. All your videos are so super helpful. Anytime I need to figure something out Blender related I always check your channel first!

Since I have been using blender for quite some time, I always watch tutorials(well, for just about anything, blender or not) at 1.25, 1.5, and even 2x speed. Saves plenty of time.

I'd like to say this that your long tutorials are better than the current short one's. I'd love to see these tutorials even if it's hours long. You're really magical 😍

[@PowerSports]

Yesss!!! Another long-form tutorial. ^_^

[@CristiNeagu]

14:40 Because it's probably emulating a sine wave which has amplitude and frequency. What i don't understand is why is it called "Size" and not "Ratio".

[@Anya-gf3rg]

These videos are so helpful, and so entertaining at the same time! Thanks! :D

[@kyle4548]

You saying don't feel bad about your computing running slow, I just spent 10k on mine and its still running slow is the single most comforting thing you've ever said in a tutorial. Now I don't feel as mad when my 2K computer is running slow lol.

[@luismacias8207]

so professional video. the resolution of youtube screen for old people and young, the speed of voice perfectly balanced and the hotkeys perfectly. I been looking like 100 videos for maya and spend 3 months try to follow tutorial and never succeded on it. and this tutorial is straight, simple and explanaible. THXS. I HOPE you spend some time doing the basic of all. like rigging, hair, water, collision. ect. keep the good work.

[@HCmonkey]

That intro was so laid back it made me laugh xD Great tutorial as always. Keep it up!

[@heavydutydavid5020]

Just to let people know, the "How to make Fur" part only lasts until 18:58. Don't be daunted by the video's "41:46 minutes".

[@dookie7299]

Haha thanks! Sure saved my time.

[@heavydutydavid5020]

@@dookie7299 Your welcome.

[@MorrysIllusion]

just wanted to say i appreciate that you show every single step so clearly. even though not all your tutorials are strictly beginner things, it still makes it a million times easier to follow.. ive watched many before where people just assume you know every function. ive only used blender for a couple months and the fact i can easily see what you do in every tutorials has taught me a lot outside of your 'beginner' tutorial!

[@Pulpalomita]

Here in 2020 and with 2.80 but equally truly helpful despite some values/settings having changed. I just made my first green little fur monster. Thank you very much !

[@elixorvideos]

Oh my gosh Andrew I love your personality!

[@jaymkultra]

I saw your 90 day art transformation on reddit and it was amazing! I wish I wasn't working 40 hours a week to help learn blender and digital art better. Maybe a good idea to show how you created some of those images in a similar tutorial to this one (what software was used etc.) I would certainly watch! Keep up the great work!

[@kodokunagoth]

you are not only informative but so hilarious! love your work keep it up I am amazed at how much I've learnt since watching your vids! thank you so much

[@firemelstudios5204]

This is a useful tutorial to use as a reference guide to creating emitters, if you can remember where the important keyframes are in the video. Thanks Andrew!

[@kellya.9219]

Wonderful tutorial! Easy to follow along and so helpful :D. ( I couldn't stop cracking up at the end there lol )

[@andrewevenson7798]

It's awesome that your videos I watch half for the tutorial an half for the entertainment.

[@aprillouise46]

Im just now looking through all your videos as im planning to start a uni course in 3d animation ect and i cant really afford anything at the moment so blender is my go to, to learn at the moment. You make so much sense and you're funny at the same time which makes learning from you even more enjoyable! thank you for all your videos!

[@joshualyness4790]

Hey Andrew! Its really good to see you making tutorials again, and I hope youre doing what you enjoy. Thanks, and keep it up :))

[@SDStudiosAnimations]

anybody here from 2019 and see how much blender guru has changed?

[@Jellikcg]

REJOICE! I've been looking forward to this for a very long time. Thankful that you've finally uploaded a long tutorial.

[@timmillervideo]

Did you ever figure out why your computer was going so slow? Could it have been when you set that setting to the maximum of 7? You seem to have discovered during the video that the max was 7. Everything seemed to slow down after that.

[@thiagobaldwin2700]

Pleaseee Please, can you make a tutorial to make a Furry Character like a Bear in Cycles render, and how to set up to animate it. Pleasee

[@cresshead]

+Thiago Baldwin there's a nice bear with fur over on blendswap...have a look at the settings once you open up the scene

[@azietheone]

+STR4P4Zi3 I agree 100%! I've learned blender just by watching a @#$ ton of tutorials! Like, as many as i can find that aren't a child talking into a crappy gaming mic. Gotta have "some" standards. Seriously, though, there's a million things to learn and most of it's all out there, until you get to super advanced shape keys and drivers and auto shape key effects. That's where I'm at. Still having problems learning how to effect shape keys automatically. Instead of just asking, I'll hunt this problem down myself that way when i learn it, it will stick. If you have a passion for it, you'll go hunting and figure it out yourself. Beats raising your hand in the game of life where no one will answer you... They just laugh that you're standing there with your hand up wanting spoon fed like a child... end of rant.

[@smokeweed9901]

just follow the tutorial in the exact same way, but try to make the fur replicate a bears fur and use the body of a bear instead of a sphere.

[@chickenpicnic3019]

+Thiago Baldwin Its called creativity. Try it.

[@thiagobaldwin2700]

Hey! Don't be rude, everybody was a noob I already got my animation and my rigged character. And I know how to work with hair, but I just wanna see another way to achieve it. Something like a tip. (If i made a mistake on the sintaxis, please forgive me, I'm learning English.

[@LegopikminStudios]

Your rant about the window made me subscribe.

[@Tsadi9Mem9Khet9]

The hair is the main thing that has been holding me back from completing what I had intended to be a quick model of a certain halloween mask-wearing escaped murderous mental patient's head, and this tutorial gave me EXACTLY the information necessary to create the kind of fake hair that the mask has on it!! Thanks so very much!!

[@DracosMinions]

Andy, I know this is an old video and i hope you read any newer comments.. but when recording and you have issues with heat and want your AC on or you have a Truck go by.. there is a new program Called RTX Voice, what it does is uses your video card somehow to only allow your microphone to pick up voices and no other sounds.. i have no idea how it works but my buddy uses it and he can have a fan on next to him and i dont hear it in Teamspeak.. also he has had lawncare people at his window with blowers and weed trimmers and still i dont hear it.. I dont even hear his dog bark when its a large dog and in his room 2 ft behind him check it out oh and you dont even need to have a RTX Card, but you do need nvidea

[@taymalerei5393]

One day I'll get pro lighting studio, it looks awesome. Really appreciate all your hard work Andrew ♥

[@blenderguru]

Thanks for the kind words, Tay. :) -Reynante Martinez

[@SomniisPMV]

On Kink Amplitude and Frequency is quantities of the wave. Amplitude is the height of the wave, frequency is how many waves per unit. Wonderful tutorial as always!

[@torsten9983]

I very like the very fast preview, i hope this will be included in future videos too.

[@holdencaulfield6393]

If anyone can not find Cycle Hair Setting in the bottom of the ParticleSystem in 15:13,its just render engin issue. If you look at the top of your screen, you will notice that your render engine is set to Default:Belender Render. Just change it to Cycle Render and go on. =)

Thanks very much for making this tutorial, I know it's been up for a long while now but hey. I have exams at the moment so I can't focus on 3D models too much, but I'm planning on making a character for a little game, this tutorial should help me a lot with the making of that character! Thanks again.

[@analogupstudiosltd784]

Greetings just want you to know that your tutorials have literally saved projects for me! is there any way you can create a video covering the new updated 2.8+ hair tutorial it would be greatly appreciated!

[@mmnissanzroadster9]

Think of kinks as a sound wave: the frequency is the amount of ups/downs the hair has in a length, whereas the amplitude is the height of those waves.

[@mr.mystical9776]

Really Great Tutorial!

[@Olav3D]

Does anybody know what Andrew Price's next paid tutorial course will be about?

Finished this yesterday, still rendering xD only 12 hours to go!

[@swNapoleon16]

New to Blender, but not the 3D creation world. Can you export the "fur" from Blender and import it into other programs? Maybe like KeyShot or a fashion design program? Create the fur and add to a garment in a clothing program? Thanks

You are THE BEST mate! :) Thanks for another exciting video :)

[@vobertralero4668]

Oh my gosh... I think I just tried to feel the thumbnail xD

[@Shmuzey]

The reason they use amplitude and frequency is because amplitude is the height of a wave, and frequency is the inverse of how often the pattern repeats; aka how dense the pattern is

[@xxxtigger8001]

What blender are you using? because i can not seem to find the threshold at 13:46

can you make an updated version if this? :( blender looks so diff now

[@FreshPe]

30:21 why doesn´t it work to reduce the alpha channel in the color in the color ramp to get transparency? And in which cases does this work?

[@blenderguru]

+|Fresh|Pe It doesn't work because the color input only reads the color information. I believe that certain inputs can read the alpha channel, but I mostly just stick to black and white.

[@nrhack]

hi is the pro lightning studio working with the new blender? thanx

What about gravity? How do you have the fluff droop slightly so it looks more realistic?

[@LizardMods]

🤔 I was really excited watching this tutorial until you said you spent ten Grand on your PC. at that point my heart sunk. I'm curious to know how many Cuda cores do you have working out of your graphics card? I would like to know so I can have an idea of what kind of Target I need to match for my PC upgrade. because there's no way I'm going to wait an hour plus to see a render of my own.

[@antonrr90]

If you computer is using boost on the CPU, it can account for some of the lag. You can get your CPU to run 100% active, but you sacrifice efficiency, and drive up your heat levels, but you gain the fact that the CPU doesn't have to boost up when your manipulating the viewport. I have a decent computer, and have been fighting the lag issue myself, but don't want to burn out my CPU by keeping it peaked all the time.

[@WolfRose11]

Can you do an updated version of this tutorial, including how to make some areas without hair?

[@ivanalailadrobna]

man, you're quick :) i must stop it maybe thousand times :D

[@96films9]

Would it be wise to use weight paints so as to focus the particles on the surface area that is being shown towards the camera, and therefore reduce unnecessary render time for strands that are being rendered yet cannot be seen in frame? A technique I learned from your Grass Essentials tutorials - would that be beneficial to use in this instance too? Brilliant tutorial Andrew, as always!

[@sonofhendrix1618]

Pro lighting studio looks amazing. However, i wouldn't pay that much for it unless i was actually making some money with 3D art. I'll never be good enough to make money with it, so im going to have to go without. If it was £40 i would probably make the purchase.

[@imansalam01]

Very helpful, thank you

[@portentouslad5051]

thanks, looks gorgeous. I wanted to ask for a while: have you done plug-ins for blender i.e. do you know how to do that? have you considered making a tutorial for that? I'm specifically asking for and export plugin to make for example exporting 3D modles for game engines. *hinting at bethesda games here* anyway I know I'm asking for something I'll never be able to make, but I'm still curious. B)

[@McIceTV]

+Portentous Lad As far as I know the doesn't program the plug-ins that he sells. He works with a programmer. You should ask in a forum with programmers in it. In Epics forum for the Unreal Engine are a lot of people who use blender and know how to develop plug-ins. There even exists a plug-in for making exporting easier to the UE. And I'm sure you could create a plug-in that suites your needs. It just takes some time and dedication. For a plug-in you probably only need basic coding knowledge and understanding of the documentation for the file formats.
