A bump map and a specular map that can be applied to modify-able body parts to make your fuzzy furry avatar look much more realistic!

Used a Jex avatar for the example.
I recommend you change the horizontal and/or vertical scales of the maps. In the screenshot I changed the fur's map horizontal scale to 3.600 and the nose's vertical scale to 2.000. You can experiment with the values to fit your needs.
I also recommend to change the specular map's glossiness value to around 200, environment value to around 10-20 and to change the color to something much darker, just a couple of pixels above pitch black in the color selection menu.
bought in 2021, still using in 2025
these are awesome, i wish more people knew about them. it does take some edit mode knowhow, but with texture rotation, scale, offset, and specular tinting, you can really use these for pretty much anything. i use em all the time to help things like ears and tails look less out of place with my fancy body materials, lol.
since they're fullperm i downloaded the fur bump and used an editor to make a slightly softer version as well since i like subtlety
just... be very careful with the advice in the description to use environment value, it often looks less than stellar with sl's visual updates LOL
Genius
Whatever you did you stumbled upon an awesome idea. This combo of bump and specular works on practically all my furry critters that came all flat from the creator with their base texture and nothing else. Yeah you just play with the horizonal/vertical scale and the rotation of just the bump and shine values and BOOM! you now have an actual "furry" and not a hairless molerat. Nicely done. And OMGosh L$1
Really Nice!
Works quite well and very easy to use. Can't use it though on just any avatar but it's not the fur bump or speculars fault, just a lot of avatar bodies/heads don't have separate faces for parts you might not want to put the fur on like your nose, tongue or other parts you'd want to keep looking like flesh/skin. All in all though it's a really great set of textures and for just a single L it is well worth picking this up.
Amazing
If you haven't purchased this yet, do it. It makes any furry avatar look 100x better. Amazing work.
Made my bifrost bunny actually look furry!
Love it! set the horizontal to 8 and vertical to 3 on her body and it looks great!
Perfect!!!
This is exactly what I needed! I was trying to figure out how to get rid of the flat look that I had, and this is the answer.
