TygerCub, I have a huge "Trick Bag" of techniques and this classifies as one of the Stupid-texture-tricks that I reach for when working with Poser figures. The hair on the arm is simply a "hovering" prop that is a child to the forearm - that is, it floats just little above the arm so it follows the pose changes. It's a curved spline object made in Carrara and exported as an .obj file for Poser. The hair texture itself is just a a High-Res transparency mask created in Photoshop and mapped to the spline object prior to the .obj export. Once the Poser figure is imported back into Carrara, the texture map still gives me the ability to play with bump and color from within Carrara. Kind of fun...
