"Nope, that doesn't look at all natural." Just illustrating a feature, not going for metaphysical equivalence :-) The old curls only have a couple of poseable parts. I imagine that something with with a fair number of parts and Koz quality mapping would look much better. I agree that truly matching the directional effect of dynamic hair would be difficult (not to mention unwieldy) but I also have yet to see any dyn. hair that looks as good as the best transmapped items, not to mention the calculation time and portability to different rendering applications. It's a compromise either way.
