Notices :
This tool is not designed for human hair but rather for animal / creature fur
Post Process effects that depend on motion vectors (TAA, advanced Motion blur) may cause some visual artifacts.
*This tool is not targeted at low end mobile devices nor low end / Android based VR devices but rather to recent mid and high end devices. Support for OpenGL ES 3.1+ or equivalent is heavily recommended.
HDRP and Universal RP variants are slightly more demanding than the Built in version due to the internal architecture and limitations of SRP technology
This tool requires one license for each developer working on the project and using XFur Studio or a character using XFur Studio shaders. For larger teams please check the Team Edition of XFur Studio 2
Alpha / Beta versions and features of Unity are not supported. The use of LTS versions of Unity is highly recommended, particularly Unity 2019.4 LTS
Characters and models using XFur Studio 1.x or XFur Mobile require additional work and manual setups in order to upgrade to XFur Studio 2. Due to the many internal differences between both versions an automatic upgrade is not possible
