Thanks for the encouragement and thoughts, coltrace.

I can't give firsthand info regarding relative speed difference between P8 and earlier versions, as I never used the Hair Room before. The simulations are a funny thing... with the style I'm working on, the little parts on the sides at the bottom are VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRY slow and sometimes even crash the program. But the rest simulate quite quickly.

However, Bagginsbill has said that there were marked performance improvements for dynamic hair in P8. I don't know if that means just for rendering or for dynamics calculation as well. All I do know is that there is no comparison between rendering dynamic hair and transmapped hair in P8. Dynamic is much faster, and usually I like the look of it better too, even though I have a lot of really great transmapped hair products in my runtime. (I kinda got addicted to buying hair and casual/everyday type clothes, which is why my hard drive is bursting.)

That's an... interesting render. :)
