Adding more hair

[flashawd]

Hi - to get some more modelling experience, I am working on my first "real" character who actually has a mouth that isn't against a flat face. ;-) The rat is a request from my 3 year old - All well as modelling experience I am trying to get more experience with hair. I like it so far, but I would like to add longer scattered light brown colored hairs that match his feet and hands throughout his entire body to give me a scruffy look.

 

I currently have the following set up for the body hair

 

 

Do I set up another hair system or another hair emitter under this one - or a new material? Or is it even possible to do? Any help would be appreciated - also and suggestions to make the rat better would be appreciated. Thanks - Eric

You can just add another hair material to your emitter, (or a new emitter group), and adjust it's properties or you could delve into using greyscale maps to control the density and length of hairs.

Thanks Paul - that was fast... I think answered my question before I posted it.

You can also use a color decal to drive the colors of the hair across your surface--a little noise in the color map should be enough to give you variety in the hairs.
