Merge Fur Options

Combine two fur sets by transferring the attributes of a source Fur node onto a target Fur node.

Find these options at Wig > Strands > Transfer > Merge Fur. Both Fur nodes must have the same CV count. Select the target node first.

For more information about merging fur, refer to Merging and Emulating.

Settings

Property	Description
Merge Based On	Choose how hairs are interpolated when merging.
	Distance	Interpolate fur based on the distance between the roots of strands. Use this method if you want to get a smooth interpolation between the source strands.
	Shape	Maintain clumps or partings when combining fur sets. This method reduces stray hairs that you may get by interpolating between unrelated strands (from two separate clumps, for example).
Density Transfer	Determine how the density transfers to the target Fur node based on the density on the source node.
	None	Transfer shape and additional attributes onto the existing target strands with no change in the density scale values of the target node.
	Relative	Map the maximum density within the source Fur node to the initial master density on the target node. All other densities are scaled to maintain the same ratio.
	Absolute	Keep the original densities within a Fur node so the merged fur has the same densities as the source.
Max Neighbor Strands	Set the maximum number of neighboring source strands that are considered per target strand during interpolation.
Max Search Radius	Set the maximum search radius for finding nearby source strands.
Relative Weight Radius	Set the radius relative to the average strand distance. This determines the region of influence of the source strands.
Active Strand Ratio	Using a percentage value (0-1), specify how much of the source strand shape (measured from the root) is examined to determine its contribution to interpolation.
Preserve Tips	Keep source tip positions fixed in space to preserve clumps.
Interpolate Length	Set the length of the target strands to match the length of the interpolated source strands.
