Fur shading demo

I've published a demo example of Fur Shading. Source code available here : https://github.com/SuperUserNameMan/GodotFurShaderDemo <img src="https://github.com/SuperUserNameMan/GodotFurShaderDemo/raw/81908c9d4fa540d01494a3ff0047b47e41fb9377/fur_shading_demo/screenshot.png?raw=true" alt=""> More screenshots of what it can be used for : http://imgur.com/a/ZKcCE

Interesting... how is it on performance though?

now if you create a furmark style benchmark for testing the renderer performance out of this I do wonder if this wouldn't be useful for the devs. :)

</blockquote>Indeed, the more the fur has layers and the more complex is the geometry, the slower it will render. But you can reduce the number of fur layers as well as the geometry complexity according to distance from camera (LoD) using GeometryInstance.set_draw_range_begin() and .set_draw_range_end(). As I dev my project on what I consider as a "middle-low-end" laptop (AMD APU A6-6310 with integrated Radeon R4), it forces me to work harder on optimization to keep the framerate between 30 and 60Hz. So, in the end, my final project should be playable on most computers. <blockquote class="Quote">

</blockquote>I've just found that furmark exists for real lol Maybe, if its enough for such a benchmark, duplicating the fury-godot-icon while displaying the framerate could make it ?

</blockquote> Maybe, may well be - as long as they don't block each other(one rendered in front of the other).

I've updated the demo to draw a fury sphere next to the the fury icon. It also displays a FPS counter.

Thumbs up for putting it in the Asset Library!
