the trouble with Tribbles – POC

I have been promising myself and even some of you that I’d be playing around with the new particle engine, since I’ve been wanting native hair effects for years now. By now you should know tests are performed on primitives and usually spheres…

#1 3.5

this is just a sphere which was compressed on the Y axis, because this is going to give me better results than a purely spherical object

That is exactly how I would have done it too. On the Y axis. 🙂

  the bonus it that this way it looks like a tribble…

#2 8

at this point I should've realized that if 8 was too sparse, then 16 would likewise be too sparse, but...

this might actually be a workable setting, if the base texture supports it...

the base is pretty much entirely obscured now, but at a high cost

even with a more expensive solution, the base isn't entirely obscured. but this was an invaluable learning experience for me, and I hope you enjoyed it as well...

Enjoyed each step as always.

Have no idea what a tribble is …
a fur ball?
Anyway, it looks like something I would hold and stroke!
LOL

The last one truly looks like a tribble. Sadly it is a tribble. Is it possible for there to only be one?

    The trouble, with tribbles, is they are not often alone. Good point!

      most herbivores will outbreed their food supply. you don’t see this with carnivores…

      their fertility rates are based on nutrition, and they generally have a smaller litter size to begin with

        🙂 you said litter.
        
        Carnivore’s litter the landscape.
        
        Tribbles on the other hand just keep multiplying! until they stop. Then they divide by two.

Love the color and I love the mixes. That fluff at the very end reminds me of some cute fluff creatures.
