Specifies the light source's elevation on the image. Lower values produce more 
shadows and a darker image. Higher values produce fewer shadows and a 
lighter image.

Specifies the amount of relief added to the image. Higher values increase the 
relief depth.

Specifies the angle of shadows that extend from the edges of image details. A 
value of 0 adds shadows to the left side, while a value of 180 adds shadows to 
the right side.

Specifies how much fur is added to the image. The higher the setting, the more 
dense the fur that is applied to the image.

Specifies how sharp an edge must be before fur is applied to it. As the value 
decreases, the area of the image that fur is added to increases.

Specifies the length of each strand of fur. As the value increases, the length of 
each fur strand also increases.

Specifies how much of the fur grows in the direction indicated by the Hair 
direction setting. The higher the value, the more random the fur direction will 
be.

Specifies the general direction in which fur will appear to grow. 

Specifies the edge detection algorithm. The algorithm controls the formula 
used to detect the edges and the direction of the edge indicators.
