This paper presents a system for real time modeling and rendering short fur. In the system

multi layer textured slices are employed to represent furry surfaces

and the high rendering performance is achieved. The system utilizes a vector field as well as a scalar field to control the shape variations of furry surfaces

and provides several fur modeling tools

including the comb

the blower

the attractive stick

and the tools for interpolating

smoothing and disturbing fur

by which users can model fur shape conveniently. In addition

a fur texture creator is provided for designing various fur textures that can affect the final rendering results of furry surfaces. The experimental results show that the system has good modeling capability and is easy to use.
