Root Puff

The Root Puf brush rotates the root of the fibers or guides toward the direction of the surface normal. Especially useful when fibers have been combed to the point where the roots are rotated parallel to the surface. The Fur brush can be combined with the Customizing Paint Tools to further customize how the brush styles the fur. The Root Puff tool can be found in the Hair Tools sub-tab of the toolbox, found in the Paint tab of the interface. When selected, the following attributes display in the Properties panel.
