| | === Beta Features === |
| | \\ |
| | <WRAP>Starting with version 2.1.0 you can enable support for **Beta Features** directly from the General Settings Tab. This will update the UI to expose all properties, settings and new parameters currently under development for XFur Studio 2. While we only make available features that have been thoroughly tested and are as usable as possible, these **Beta features** should be used with caution as they may produce errors or incompatibilities with other XFur modules and, more likely, they may suffer multiple changes before they are labeled as stable.</WRAP> |
| | <WRAP>**Beta features are not always released in all pipelines at once. Some beta features may be locked to a single rendering pipeline depending on their requirements or may not be compatible with certain devices. Always make a backup of your work before enabling Beta features support in any XFur Studio 2 instance**.</WRAP> |

| | ==== Curly Fur (Beta) ==== |
| | ---- |
| | \\ |
| | <WRAP>Introduced in version 2.1 is a brand new beta feature : Curly fur. The current curly fur implementation allows for manual adjustments of curl amount and size on both the X and Y axes and works with procedural and manual fur strand maps, the latter producing often times better results.</WRAP> |
| | |
| | <WRAP>The curls are currently generated in a single direction producing reduced variety in some cases, something that will be addressed in future updates.</WRAP> |

| | <WRAP>To enable the Curly fur parameters simply enable Beta features support in the General Settings tab of the XFur Studio Instance component.</WRAP> |

| | |
| | <WRAP>The available parameters control the amount of waves / curls to be generated on the X and Y axes as well as their size. By playing with these parameters you can create many different kinds of curly fur, from thin and well defined “spring-like” curls to wool-like materials, etc.</WRAP> |
| | |
| | <WRAP>Curly fur is compatible with all XFur modules including physics and weather FX.</WRAP> |
