Hi everyone,

It was brought to my attention that some of the embedded otl files were incomplete definitions so I have fixed it and here is the new version…

Thank you to Sergey Oz for mentioning this!

Enjoy!

Hey gui2one,

great result!

I've honestly never found any memory difference in using the mantra fur procedural… And having the curves created in SOPs allows you to do so much more with them after the fact…
for example, creating shadow volumes for fur or even what we did with our own grass system which was to procedurally polywire curves that are super close to camera in order to create detailed “close-up” grass and a scattered falloff to much lighter grass in one easy system…

So basically yeah, I've found more uses for the fur SOP than the mantra procedural… but maybe that's just me?? :-D

Hi wharton,

The tool was built in the commercial version of Houdini so it will work in either the commercial or the apprentice version… but the tools itself is not commercial - ie. its free to use so you can just click the download above, install the asset library in your Houdini and you've got the tool…

:-D Enjoy!
