Well, I've never used Poser's hair system, so I don't know if it's a "toy" or not. I've never used Shave either, but what I'm saying is that I have seen Joe's hair system used in serious studio production work many times, in both movies and television, so I know it's capabilities are production-proven. It's also a testimony to it's success that 3 of the 4 biggest applications in 3D/fx have adopted it's use, much like MentalRay, which no one disputes is one of the best renderers available. I can't say the same thing about Poser's hair system, because so far I haven't seen it used successfully in any serious production work.

It could be a powerful tool, but so far, I've only seen it used very little, in short clips or stills, and nothing that I have seen overly impressed me. Not talking about the examples in this thread, I'm talking about over all.
