Well, below is a screendump of one of my first tests using the eternal cude.

You can notice the guide-fur being edited in the 3d-view. Then at render-time, more fur is added with lots of clumping. Click the screenshot to look at the particle buttons context at the bottom of the image.

I rendered the cube using some diffuse/specular ramp shaders and a pinch of SSS.
