Multiple Uv Single Surface And Fur

[masternull]

i have a single poly surface with multiple UV layouts (body, face, etc) ... i have multiple fur descriptions set for each UV layout but cannot independently apply a fur description to UV set,

!!!! it always selects ALL fur descriptions for the surface and applies them to ONE uv set... (using relationship editor/UV linking/fur/UV) !!!!

is there a back door to do this? does it have anything to do with the FurFeedback Node?

from Maya Help:

By default Fur uses UV set map1, but you can link your fur descriptions to different UV sets on your polygonal surface. For example, if you have different UV sets defined for different projections, you can link the fur descriptions to the UV set that gives the best fur result.

When you link a fur description to a UV set, all the fur descriptions attached to the polygon are linked. You cannot link individual fur descriptions to different UV sets.

WHY NOT ? whats the point if you can't have different fur descriptions attached to different UV sets on the same pieceof geometry ?

different fur parameters. But yes its a stupid limitation but a limitation none the less.

Hi there,
First: just forget about fur and multiple uv sets!!

Wrap deform duplicates of your geometry, each one with a different UV layout.
You will be able to render all fur descriptions together.

Good luck.
