Megascans Digest: Fur and Feathers

Recreating hair and fur in a believable way is one of the most complicated processes of character production. You have to give it the volume, texture and bring the diversity of it. You also have to take into account the lighting and its refraction. There is software that helps generate the hyper-realistic hair, but if you want to speed up your production, this compilation may come handy for you. Whether you are working on a character project or develop a game with animals as the main characters, check out these assets from Megascans Library.
