This is same comment I posted on your picture, I added it here for tutorial reasons:
(about the picture!)
*It looks better than the freebie I produced some months ago, and it took me a lot of time to get that right and I'm still not satisfied with it, but you have to stop some time. I read your tutorial and found it quite impressive. You did the same approach like I did by making separate groups of hair, but I never did a simulation on it. I actually made the hairs a lot thinner than you did in an attempt to get better renders cause at a distance it's really making a big black blur of it. One big problem with the hair room is that the hairs are always growing in the same direction (at least on the northern hemisphere)and I found it a big problem to make it look right. I didn't found a reference in the tutorial to the materialroom, cause making the right materials is a important as to make the curls right, I think pubic (and armpit and breast(male of cousrse)) hair is less shiny than normal hair so it needs other settings. But bravo for the result and the tutorial (I'm just to lazy for that).
*I know how much time it takes to get serious results out of the hairroom out of nothing so I'm very happy you wrote this tutorial. I think the poser hairroom needs some more settings to get realistic results ( something more like a chaos-dial), but I don't think the creators had this in mind when they invented it. (more like beautiful goldy locks or similar innocent hairstyles)
You won't believe this, but I just read an artical in one of my wife's glossy magazines about pubic hairstyles,and I think there's a whole range we have to try out.
Good work and thanks for sharing.
regards,
Bopper.*
