Creating fur using the new fur rendering system in Blender 2.46

http://users.xplornet.com/~gimble/blender/tutorials/jahka/fur/fur_texture.htm
http://users.xplornet.com/~gimble/blender/tutorials/jahka/fur2/fur2_texture.htm

The above two links are an excellent start to learning about creating fur using masking textures to control length, density, clump, rough and more parameters.
