Is there a way to do positional fur, or fur that lays flat on a surface?

I'm doing this felt material, so the fur does not come directly out from the material but rather on its sides. In Keyshot I know I can use a normal map to drive the placement of fur. How might I get this effect in 3DSMax?

You can the direction of the fur by plugin in a map into the slot. Can't remember right now what's it called. Might as well be direction. Check the docs or let me know if you need any more help
