Asher Fur Dynamics (rough draft)

I've been working a lot with this new fur system we're using, and tried applying dynamics to the fur I set up for Asher's character.  If I can get this working right, it should help to add a w...

Today we got some work done on Asher's tail and whiskers and added his hair!  Also, Fox figured out what was causing issues with our face rigging solution, so that's working well now too.
