Was browsing the blender subreddit, and came across this post about how to use the hair system. Before I had been doing it wrong! I prefer a cartoony system reminiscent of Neopets, and the trick is not many hairs to make things look fluffy, but actually almost no hair, and you manually add 5 or 6 strands. That way you have granular control over what's going on. Then you use a buttload of interpolated children hairs to fill them out.

This is animated in 3d using 2d cutouts!

theres a lot that i would like to improve on, but me learning those lessons were the point of doing this.... and its a little too complicated for me to go back and make those edits!

and a long tradition of under construction .gifs are required on cool websites.

Let's try and make a lil animation.... who knows how long it will take.
