I needed a "catchy" title for the thread and my question is on topic.

First, I'd like to say the search function around here needs some tweaking.
I was trying to find the thread where folks were trying to render hair using nodes and remarking that some hair textures (Koz's?) have highlights "baked" etc.

Why was I looking for that particular thread?

I'd like to know what modellers/texture folks need to do so that folks who want to do node based texturing can do their thing. (Yes, I know the primary thing is NOT to put highlights in the textures).

Is some sort of displacement map needed? Is dyanamic hair the only way to go?

I think the more popular hair is trans-mapped, where the hair is modelled in layers, and each layer has some transparency . These are lower load for rendering , and having morphs built in can be positioned to appear as if in wind, or with gravity acting in them . The textures for these makes a huge difference to the appearance, usually a color map and a transparency map.

Kozoboro was excellent at making hair and some are still at www.digitalbabes.jp

This might be your thread, and if it's not, there's lots of good info in it anyway :-)
