I’ve been wondering if there are any specific tutorials or explanations about the ‘Fur Map,’ especially regarding the Bend ,the Bend Direction and Initial Direction maps.According to the manual in the CLO Help Center, it mentions that the Fur Map is influenced by a grayscale map. However, after the recent update, I noticed that Bend Direction and Initial Direction in the maps are affected by a Normal Map.From what I’ve tested, Length, Density, Thickness, Curl, Bend and Gravity are affected by the grayscale map, but the others are not.What I’m curious about is the role and differences between the following:• Bend Map• Direction Bend Map• Initial Bend Mapwhat map type should i use for each of those(Normal or grayscale)? and What is the role of each map?I attached what I've test. which is about Bend and initial direction map.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202501/63e5722d43d14789a31ee9856084451e/images/fcc5da98bb2340edbd9816b5c02d75a0%E1%84%89%E1%85%B3%E1%84%8F%E1%85%B3%E1%84%85%E1%85%B5%E1%86%AB%E1%84%89%E1%85%A3%E1%86%BA%202025-01-22%20%E1%84%8B%E1%85%A9%E1%84%92%E1%85%AE%204.45.41.png" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="fcc5da98bb2340edbd9816b5c02d75a0" data-width="2450" data-height="942">“As I studied, I noticed both similarities and differences.The similarity is that all of them cause clumping of the fur.The difference lies in the degree of clumping and the clarity of the fur’s texture lines, which vary.Based on my tests, it seems that Bend Direction and Initial Direction are used to represent clumping, but I’m really curious about how exactly they differ as well as the Bend.I’d appreciate any help. Please let me know! :)
