Applying Forces to Fur – GDC 2025

“We can also use a windblown effect. We can scroll through a purlin noise texture. That gives us kind of random bumps that blow our fur around. And we can offset the texture coordinates for nearby strands for a nice ripple. So there’s a kind of lag. Once strand gets hit, then the next strand gets hit by the wind.”

In this clip from his talk at GDC 2025 Graphics Engineer Oliver Castaneda highlights applying forces to fur in Sky: Children of the Light. #GDCRewind #GameDev
