The hair doesn't have to look horrible.  I've been working on getting both the object based hair andt the strand based hair to come out in Vue.  Playing with the highlight, transparency and bump for object based will help a lot.  With the stand based so far (I've only had Vue  approximately a month, so bare with me) I've found that smoothing out the bump and removing the bump function helps as well as using Photoshop's gausian blur a couple times on the hair finishes it off pretty well.  The image is my first attempt at stand based hair in  Vue.  The second is object based.

I  hope these come up for you ... at least it's an example of what I'm working on.   I want to master the hair in Vue.  Any one else have ideas on how to fix the stand hair I'd appreciate it.
