Fur Shader - Anyone?

Has anyone implemented a fur shader in Irrlicht? If so can you tell me how, as I am struggling.

Thanks

What problems are you having?

For each frame update I want to set the same shader constants (with different values for each shell) and redraw the mesh with a new texture.

There doesn't seem an obvious way of doing this.

I don't know if this will help but RenderMonkey has a fur shader.

Thanks for that. I have the shader written ok, the problem I have is coding Irrlict to use it. I have used the shader before in an MDX app.

If you are using a multipass shader for the fur (like the rendermonkey or FX Composer demos), you'll have to add your own multipass support to irrlicht.

Cheers. That's what I thought. Has anyone done this yet? I don't want to have to re-invent the wheel.
