the furry does look good, but I suppose the engine isn't made for all that fur (or is it?).

I do worry that any scenes that take place with a furry that is THAT furry would have to take place in a very basic room on most machines.

Considering how short fur is, you wouldn't need to add physics to it. Just look at Skyrim's sabre cats and bears, as they are covered in fur while being in that richly detailed environment.

true

Skyrim fur is a combination of good texture design and models shaped to best bring out the illusion of fur, with tuffs and muffs put in just the right places.



This is not the kind of fur that you see in Skyrim. It looks like you could play with individual follicles on this model.

EDIT

Speaking of furry art styles, I just found this artist.

He's making his own game with these models in Unity. With an alpha build for public download.

These models seem to be made in Maya... I wonder if we can ask him to allow XSP to use these models.

...

OH GOD, HE HAS A SALLY ACORN MODEL.

Yeah... that is quite the bushy tail.

Well, I'm not a 3D modeller by a long shot, so I really don't know just how intensive it would be. Even if there were no physics, the poly count for something like that still seems high enough to make your GPU get quite taxed.

Fur is usually done with a shader, not extra polygons.

Hey guys, remember when we where concerned about people making MLP mods for XSP, and I dismissed this possibility because of how hard it would be to put quadrupeds in the game?

Someone might not care about them not being quadrupeds...

I just want to share this and this seems to be an appropriate thread anyway so here I go.

(Note that gfycat is a service that turns huge gif files into managable webM files. I can't really embed those so it's easier for everyone if I just link those.)

The source of these animations are Timpossible.

Have I mentioned this guy before?

If I could just drag and drop this models into XSP I would.
