Fur Simulation
Digital grooming and physics that give characters millions of individual moving hairs. Pixar's Monsters, Inc. (2001) showed it with Sulley, and later films refined the look of fur, hair and grass.

- 01Individual fine strands
- 02Soft backlit rim glow
- 03Wind-ruffled fluffy layers
Why it happens
Thousands to millions of curves are grown from a surface, shaded for translucency and self-shadowing, and moved by physics so they bend, clump and react to wind.
