Creating photorealistic animals in computer graphics is common within the VFX industry and is increasing as the technology advances. With CG you can nowadays create almost realistic and believable animals. One of the biggest challenges in creating a realistic animal is creating realistic fur. The question is what challenges poses creating realistic fur and what is the process to achieve it? How does groom affect the other departments in the pipeline such as modeling and texturing, what are things you need to keep in mind when creating fur? In this thesis, the study of recreating a realistic fur for a lion was conducted while examining the challenges posed while creating it. The study shows that grooming demands more out of the other departments and while creating realistic fur is one thing, accomplishing realistic hair within a context such as for a specific animal is an elaborate process which demands both technical and artistic skills in conjunction with a structured approach.
