NeoFur - Fur, Fibers, Fuzzy Surfaces and more!

Aaaaaany news about 4.16 compilation?

Their website talks to them closing up shop for an unspecified Other opportunity. No mention of any timetable for updating or further support for future versions sadly. I was looking forward to buying this but missed the window.

https://twitter.com/Neoglyphic/status/865228551632560137 they said this on their twitter account regarding the 4.16 update

I’m afraid the UE 4.17 will be online before they made their 4.16 update :slight_smile:

I was able to rebuild the 4.15 source version for 4.16 without a problem.

It’s a good news !

Can I ask how you do this ?
I know that since they have decide to go on their new mysterious project, we have a full access to the sources but I don’t know how to compile it :slight_smile:

Yeah, I wish I knew more about what their future plans were because NeoFur is by far the best fur plugin for the engine. Their website is still up and they have some good guides on how to compile from the source. Should be here.

Done !

@sanford87, I wish you a life long and prosper :slight_smile:

I am able to download the other versions except the personal edition.
It just doesn’t start when I try it.

This was for me the most promising looking plugin. It makes me sad to see how it’s now likely gone forever.

@cman2k @peet808
Please release NeoFur for UE4.17 & UE4.16.

After some research it looks like there is really no good replacement for this plugin.

Somewhat strange is they went through the thread and deleted their responses. I don’t understand why a company would go through the thread of their discontinued software and delete their answers to questions.

What I also don’t understand is why they don’t just offer it as a legacy plugin? Any developer interested in it could make their own decision for buying a discontinued plugin. Developers who need a nice looking fur solution would still have a option.

I’m guessing it’s some kind of stipulation being forced upon them by their new owner.

Ok. Seeing how they removed most information about it except for the support part thats probably the most likely case. I really hope this means we will see it again in some form for developers here and it doesn’t just disappear.

Is there any news of this coming back online?

At this point I’m fairly sure it isn’t going to come back.

So what do you think happened to it? did Epic purchase it for their pipeline or is it more complicated with some sort of NVIDIA hair tools politics going on or something along those lines?

It’s a shame the tool has just gone as it was such a great tool I would hate to see it just never come back. :frowning:

Why? What was the reason?

Neoglyphic to my knowledge was purchased by another company, and said company has no interest in continuing support for the plugin.

Oh, It’s very sad. I was going to buy this plugin but now It looks like there is no chance. Thanks for the information @ambershee.
