introduction
In this tutorial you Will se one simple method of making Fur for wolves or similar animals, suitable for static images.

Step 1 first, try todo find some reference images with front, side and top views of a Wolf head with a postura similar todo a blueprint. One method is todo make the head using box modeling, a mirror modifier and a Subsurf modifier set todo 1. Once you are satisfied with the basic model, you can apply the Subsurf modifier, After which you can make fine corrections todo your model.

Step 2 After Marking your seams, uv-unwrap the Mesh. Export the UV Layout into an image editor (e. Gimp, Adobe Photoshop, etc.) and then Paint over the Layout on sepárate layers. This Will be the base skin of the animal. Because this skin is under the Fur you dont ned todo worry about being precise.



Step 3 find some close-up images of Fur and adjust it in your image editor with the brushes, filters and other tools. These images Will define the tone of the Fur color. Again, precisión is not essential, the point of this step is the basic color.

Step 4 sepárate the no sé, make the eyes and duplicate the Mesh. Separate the no sé, make the eyes and duplicate the Mesh.

Step 5 divide the duplicated Mesh into sepárate parts where the Fur markedly changes and then slightly extrude Edges on each Fur surface todo cover the neighboring surface. This Will help the the various furred áreas blend todo look more natural.



Step 6 add diferent Fur textures todo each part and modify the particle settings according todo the natural Fur colors. For the best result, add some Spherical and vortex deflection for a more natural look todo the shape of the Fur. With the Node Editor you can apply some Dof with a bokeh effect for the background, and then put your pet in his natural environment.



Below are the particle setting for the hairs used for the Wolf model. And on right it the progression for separating and modifying/readying the Mesh for particles.
