DreamWorks’ fur simulation system Skunk is used to simulate fur on characters, garments, and props. Skunk’s ease of use, speed, stability, interactive nature, flexible framework, layered simulation approach, on the fly fur setup capabilities, consistency, and artist controls pushed boundaries of fur motion and interaction, and expanded artist usage at DreamWorks. The system was widely used in the film How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, the short Bilby, and is being used on current feature films and shorts at DreamWorks.
