Hair properties can be altered using the General and Material Parameters rollouts.
Map button

The buttons to the right of most of the parameters in the General Parameters rollout let you add a map to
control the property with a grayscale bitmap. Figure 29.3 shows a simple plane object mapped with a bit-
map used to control the hair density. The black areas of the bitmap have no hair growth, but the white
areas have maximum growth. This provides a way to create patchy hair on a character or creature.

Many of the hair properties can be defined using maps.
