In this episode, I show the Surface Comb tool in Ornatrix for Maya.
It is designed to procedurally define the shape and orientation of a character's fur along a surface. It can be used to stylize a large number of hairs at the macro level by using directional vectors to specify their flow and a curve to define their shape relative to the distribution surface.
