Hi, 
In about beginning of summer, in behance photoshop challenges, there was this video that was showing how to make a line with the defult brush looks kinda furry. the person didnt use a photo of a fur and masking. She used some settings under "Filter" section. The end result looked kinda like a furry object and 3D looking.
I know the description of it is not clear. but I cannot find the video or a similar file. I will be really happy if you helo me.

Well it depends on what you have in mind, and how you'd like your fur to look.  What I do if want something like fur, or a beard is lay down some fully hard 'pressure controlls size' lines like this, and define it as a new brush preset

Then I'd give it little bit of size jitter and 100% angle jitter

Note: when you have applied all the settings, you need to definite again as a new preset.

Which would give you this effect 

Taking it a step further I vary the opacity of the stroke in the original preset like this

And build my fur effect on a light grey background

Or add Foreground background color jitter (all of these jitter settings are with Control set to Off)

Chose appropriate colours, and see what you get.  I actually used Camera > Clarity toincrease contrast below

The master at this stuff is Aaron Blaise.  I don't have his Fur brush set, but have a few of his brush sets so I'll see how he goes about it.

    OK this is interesting. Aaron makes his itial preset less random. It follows that with a more controlled stroke direction, he uses no angle jitter, but uses the following settings

     

    Size jitter 70% (set to Pen Pressure)

    Scatter jitter set to 40% (both axis)

    Count 3, Count jitter 25%

    Foreground background jitter 25%

    A few other minor setting that you can work out yourself.

      In case you didn't know, there is a huge array of filters under the Filter Gallery option within the Filter menu. What you are looking for may be in there.
