Valandar, what proggy are you using. I use rhino. I was thinking that perhaps I could do something similar using multiple strands per hair segment. I don't have access to my machine right now, but will give it a try later. I was thinking perhaps "piping" a number of splines which are already in the proper shape and order. ...and piping each with slightly different diameters... oh, and without end caps :). By usings different diameters, I hope to cause some of the strands to intersect slightly which would close some of the gaps (hopefully all). It would be most similar to how DW creates his hair models. I've never done hair before either, but it will be a nice little challenge. I was playing around doing organics the other day and came up with a nice grass model which I placed in the FREE stuff section. Did a nice little ornamental tree too :)
