*The only problem was it had a bad search engine, but I imagine that is fixed now with the new RDNA site.

*It isn't (yet, I hope) As soon as RDNA was back on air, I tried to find about Oliver's hair shader, but it didn't find anything.

Considering dynamic hair, I really love it, but only with a dark shader like brown or black hair, but blond hair really sucks. I think the problem is that most blond hair shaders use the translucent  setting of the Poser-surface shader. But translucency doesn't work with ray tracing (as BB has showed us many threads ago), so you get light hair, where it's supposed to be dark (in shadows) I've did some experients with layered hair and giving the more inside layers lesser translucency than the outer layers, which gave some more or less satisfying results, but this is just a trick to mimic what it is supposed to be.
