    • A value range of 0(no Fur strands) to 1(maximum Fur strands applied) can be used.
    • A black and white control texture can be used as multiplier.
• Diffuse Blend
  • The strength of blend between the fur and body shader.
    • A value range of 0 to 1 can be used.
• Diffuse Scale
  • The strength of diffuse materials in the scene.
    • A value range of 0 to 1 can be used.
• Global Stiffness
  • The stiffness of the entire fur strand.
    • A value range of 0(not stiff) to 1(maximum stiffness) can be used.
    • A black and white control texture can be used as multiplier.
• Gravity
  • What goes up, must come down. The direction for gravity relative to fur.
• Root Stiffness
  • The stiffness of the root of the fur strand.
    • A value range of 0(not stiff) to 1(maximum stiffness) can be used.
    • A black and white control texture can be used as multiplier.
• Root Width Scale
  • The width of the root of each fur strand. This value is multiplied by the Width control
    • A value range of 0(thin) to 1(wide) can be used.
    • A black and white control texture can be used as multiplier.
• Shadow Attenuation
  • Define.
• Specular Color
  • The color(RGB) that is applied to primary and secondary specular components.
• Specular Primary Scale
  • The strength of the primary specular component.
    • A value range of 0 to 1can be used.
• Specular Primary Shininess
  • The strength of the fall off for the primary specular component.
    • A value range of 0 (soft falloff) to 1(hard falloff) can be used.
• Specular Secondary Scale
  • The strength of the secondary specular component. The secondary specular pattern or hot spots can be slightly different from the primary.
    • A value range of 0 to 1 can be used.
• Specular Secondary Shininess
  • The strength of the fall off for the secondary specular component.
    • A value range of 0 (soft falloff) to 1(hard falloff) can be used.
• Specular Secondary Tangent Offset
  • The strength for how much the secondary specular component will be offset from the primary specular component based on the lighting direction.
    • A value range of -1 to 1 can be used. 0 is the default and would line up with the primary specular component.
• Tip Width Scale
  • The width of the tip of each fur strand. This value is multiplied by the Width control
    • A value range of 0(thin) to 1(wide) can be used.
    • A black and white control texture can be used as multiplier.
• Waviness Frequency
  • The strength of Waviness Frequency applied to each fur strand.
    • A value range of 1(1 sin wave ) to 10(10 sin waves applied) can be used.
• Waviness Frequency Noise
  • The strength of noise applied to Waviness Frequency for each fur strand.
    • A value range of 0(not applied) to 1(maximum amount applied) can be used.
• Waviness Scale
  • The strength of Waviness Frequency applied to each fur strand.
    • A value range of 0(not applied) to 1(maximum amount applied) can be used.
• Waviness Scale Noise
  • The strength of noise applied to Waviness Scale for each fur strand.
    • A value range of 0(not applied) to 1(maximum amount applied) can be used.
• Width
  • The overall Width of each fur strand. This value multiplies Root Width and Tip Width globally across the asset.
    • A value range of 1(results in base values for Root Width and Tip Width) to 10(maximum Width) can be used.
• Wind Noise
  • The strength of random noise applied to Wind. This generates a random oscillation on the fur that respects wind direction if one is applied.
    • A value range of 0 to 1 can be used.
