Why is "hair strands" on that big list but no real time Fur rendering with it? Too much processing power required?

there is at least 3 player race and a bunch of animal/monsters that could use fur rendering I never see it used in any games except for Rarewares games like conkers bad furday xbox/ kameo/starfox adventures ETC ETC. Most the time it is fur textures in most games.

Oh and in some of nvida's/ati old tech demos they showed off fur rendering but you never really see it use, that was my fav effect in the radeon 9700 pro/geforce3/4 days made animal characters look so much more life like.

They was really pushing the "fur shaders" around the shader model 2.0 days but few seem to use it ever to this day.

But ATI and NVIDA loved shownig them off and made a big deal around that time, though.











That is sad wanted a fuzzy ratonga more than human hair strands...

It was meant to be the same thing. (Hair Strands / Fur)
