XFur Studio 3

XFur Studio has been for many years now one of the top solutions for fur in Unity games. It has helped many projects for all sorts of devices (including AR / VR apps) to add realistic fur to creatures and animals within minutes, all without leaving the Unity Editor nor requiring any experience with third party software. All this while also being able to run in lower end and older hardware that has limited or no support for compute / geometry shaders, as is the case with many mobile devices with not properly implemented drivers or older specs.

Following that philosophy of ease of use and fast results we have decided to completely revamp the way XFur Studio works with our latest release, ensuring that the whole process of adding fur to your characters is faster, easier and more productive. Let us introduce you to XFur Studio 3:

Main features:

  • Add fur, customize it and groom it in minutes, all without ever leaving the Unity Editor.
  • Brand new in-editor suite of tools for fur grooming, trimming and more.
  • Wide range of settings to fine tune between quality and performance.
  • Support for GPU accelerated physics.
  • Support for weather & blood FX
  • Support for fur color mixing
  • Support for curly fur
  • Support for XR
  • Support for HDRP, URP and Built-in
  • Easily export fur profiles to reuse them across different creatures.
  • Fully documented, and with fully accessible source code.

Users who bought XFur Studio 2 - Ultimate Edition after March 1st, 2023 will be entitled to a free upgrade to the Personal Edition of XFur Studio 3.
Users who bought XFur Studio 2 - URP Edition after May 30, 2023 will also be entitled to a free upgrade to the Personal Edition.

XFur Studio™ Core is a more streamlined version of our fur solution. It offers support for both Built-in and URP, it includes the full XFur Designer suite (used to style the fur within the Unity Editor) as well as access to the XFur Studio API to perform changes to the fur at runtime. It does not support HDRP, Curly fur, Emissive Fur, Basic Shells (for low end mobile) nor any of the advanced modules (Decals, LOD, Physics, Weather FX, Randomization).

It is also a far more affordable option for smaller projects, with a price of 50 USD. Users of XFur Studio 2 (either the URP or the Ultimate Edition) are entitled to a 30% discount if they choose to upgrade to this more limited edition, meaning their final price will be 35 USD. This upgrade price does not have any time limits.

Users of the Team Edition can upgrade to the corresponding Team Edition of XFur Studio 3 with a 50% discount. Again, this upgrade does not have any time limits.

This asset is in active development with an update planned for September, bringing Burst + Job boosted performance as well as better support for TAA / Motion Blur

Version 3.1.0 is coming very soon, with the following changes :

  • Fixed a bug when exporting textures present in some OS with some folder paths.

  • Experimental support for the Graphics.RenderMesh API using Jobs + Burst (you should see a performance gain in cases where many instances of fur covered meshes are running)

  • Much improved support for TAA and motion blur effects thanks to the new API used.

This new mode has to be enabled by hand in the code by uncommenting the line #define EXPERIMENTAL_BURSTED at the very top of the XFur Studio Instanced script. You must have the Unity Collections and Burst packages installed in your project for this to work. By default, the line is commented and as such the asset will work as before this patch.

XFur Studio Core has a 50% off until February 21. It is available right now, at its lowest price ever, only 25 USD!

XFur Studio 3 has been tested and it seems to work without issues in Unity 6. While we still recommend the use of LTS versions, this means that you should be able to test your projects with XFur in the preview release without any major issues.

A series of small updates and fixes are coming very soon to XFur Studio 3, including a fix for the VFX module (so that it can be enabled and disabled at runtime without errors in URP).

There are more news coming soon, but these small fixes should arrive before the end of August. Hope it helps!
